The Australian Doctors' Orchestra is a
unique national fellowship of doctors and medical students who are also
classically trained musicians. Since their first concert in 1993, the orchestra
has played a concert every year and in every state to raise funds for a variety
of medical charities. Recently they have started to hold concerts in regional
centres and this was their first visit to Port Macquarie.
In this concert they were raising money for the
Australian Centre for Arts and Health to fund a creative
ageing program at Port Macquarie Base Hospital, and also for the Unicorn Foundation to support
vital research into neuroendocrine cancer.
Hastings Choristers Cantorus choir
was delighted to perform Brahms' choral work Nänie
with the ADO in the first half of this concert.
