An orchestra of healthcare workers…
The idea of an orchestra composed of healthcare workers is not unusual. About forty such organizations serve their communities with music-making in the US according to the National Association of Medical Orchestras. Skills acquired by mastering a musical instrument cross over easily to those needed by doctors, nurses, and other medical professions - discipline, delayed gratification, and focus just to name a few. The demands of a career in medicine are substantial and playing beautiful music in the orchestral setting can be a real balm to these individuals.
Where Science and Art Meet!
The Fort Worth Medical Orchestra is a new community orchestra composed of musicians who also work in the medical field.
A Symphony of Medical Professionals and Musicians
As the soothing notes of a violin replace the beeping sounds of monitors and the powerful resonance of a cello tranquilly fills the air, the intersection of medicine and music takes center stage in Fort Worth. Introducing the Fort Worth Medical Orchestra, a community ensemble composed exclusively of musicians who are also dedicated healthcare professionals.
Formed as a harmonious representation of the inherent connection between the healing arts and the world of symphonic beauty, the Fort Worth Medical Orchestra aims to provide an artistic outlet for those who balance their passion for music with careers in healthcare.
