A New Partnership for the DMO

DMOLeave a comment

The Durham Medical Orchestra proudly announces our new affiliation with the Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts of Duke University.  We are grateful for this support of our Duke community connection, which will help to reinforce the DMO mission:

We strive to unite health-related professionals, Duke University, and the surrounding community, through musical performance and collaboration, to foster health, wellness, and cultural enrichment of our audiences and members.

The Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts works to realize Duke’s strategic plan initiatives in the arts. These include developing and strengthening the arts at Duke; integrating them more fully into the academic, co‑curricular, and extra‑curricular life of the university; and promoting greater collaboration among arts organizations at Duke as well as with arts organizations in the community.

We are happy to announce that, after six seasons of tremendous growth and development, the Duke Medicine Orchestra has changed its name to the Durham Medical Orchestra. The name change reflects our widening partnerships with health professionals and colleagues in the greater Durham area and our increasing collaborations with our community outside of the Duke Health system. We will continue our mission to unite musicians and community at the intersection of music and health.  Under the artistic direction of Dr. Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant, we will continue public performances in Baldwin Auditorium, at other campus events, and throughout the greater Durham community.

The Durham Medical Orchestra is composed primarily of health care professionals and graduate students in life science disciplines, as well as friends and family members who share our goals of musical excellence and outreach. We have over 100 members, and we welcome interested musicians and volunteers.  Please see our website or our Facebook page for details about the orchestra and our supporters in the Duke University community, in Durham, and across the Triangle, and to learn more about our mission and projects. If you are interested in participating or in supporting the DMO, please contact us directly through either of these sites.

We look forward to this new season as the Durham Medical Orchestra, and we invite all to attend our free public concert on December 11, 2016, at 5:00 p.m. in Baldwin Auditorium on Duke’s East Campus.
