World Doctors Orchestra

Now in its 18th season, the World Doctors Orchestra has grown to include over 2000 physician-musicians from over 60 countries. Four times a year, physicians from around the world meet for several days of intensive rehearsals to then exchange their white coats for evening attire and perform charity concerts. The proceeds from each concert session go to selected medical aid organizations. In addition to the direct financial contribution, organizations benefit substantially from the international solidarity and media attention associated with WDO concerts.

Since 2008, the World Doctors Orchestra has performed more than 50 concerts in major concert halls throughout the world to rave reviews and has raised more than 2.5 Million Euros for Medical Charities. The proceeds from each concert go to selected medical aid organizations, which benefit from the funds raised as well as from local and national publicity. 

The April 4 concert will benefit MedWish MedWorks. This World Doctors Orchestra concert will be unique, featuring a large all-strings orchestra with more than 70 performers.

MedWish MedWorks is a humanitarian nonprofit dedicated to advancing health equity and environmental sustainability. Achieve this by providing essential care, redistributing surplus medical supplies, and connecting medically underserved communities with vital resources in Northeast Ohio and around the world.
