Contrary to popular belief, Health Sciences Orchestra is not a "doctor's orchestra," but a community orchestra that functions in a health science atmosphere. The orchestra includes a wide variety of individuals: University of Minnesota employees, medical students, residents, faculty members, practicing physicians, nurses, hospital employees, and individuals from the community-at-large. Ages of players range from 20 to 94! Health Sciences Orchestra gives several performances during the year including three concerts per season in the hospital lobby, the Medical School's White Coat ceremony and graduation ceremony, and a July concert on the Riverside campus.
