About
The Australian Doctors Orchestra (ADO) is a unique national fellowship of medical professionals who are also classically trained musicians. Since their first concert in 1993, the orchestra has played a concert every year in in every state, using each occasion to raise funds for charity.
In June the Australian Doctors Orchestra will venture to Mount Gambier for the first time. Up to 100 medical professionals from all around Australia share two days of rehearsals culminating in a performance on the Sunday afternoon. The Mount Gambier Concert will be performed under the baton of renowned maestro Nicholas Braithwaite (who has some interesting links to Helpmann himself) and will also feature the acclaimed bassist Kees Boersma. Kees grew up and began his musical training in Mount Gambier, and is thrilled to be returning to play in his home town.
The members of the orchestra donate their time and the proceeds of the concerts are given to charities. Proceeds of this concert will be given to Stand Like Stone Foundation. This will be an extraordinary event not to be missed.
