We are delighted to say that the Australian Doctors Orchestra is BACK and to let you know that the national ADO 2022 concert went ahead in Adelaide on Father's Day.  Come back here from time to time for an update on future concerts, or visit our Facebook page.         The Australian Doctors Orchestra (ADO) is a unique national fellowship of medical professionals who are also classically trained musicians. Since our first concert in 1993, the orchestra has played a concert every year (except 2021) and in every state, using each occasion to raise funds for charity. Up to 100 medical professionals from all around Australia share two days of final rehearsals culminating in a performance on a Sunday afternoon, featuring acclaimed soloists and providing exciting orchestral performances.          In Adelaide we performed under the baton of the esteeemed Adelaide Symphony Orchestra Conductor Laureate Nicholas Braithwaite. We commenced with Carl Otto Nicolai: Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor (The Merry Wives of Windsor): Overture. The acclaimed cellist Greg Tuske performed Robert Schumann: Cello Concerto in A minor, Opus 129. then the concert continued with Edward Elgar: Prelude to the oratorio “The Kingdom”, Opus 51, and concluded with Richard Strauss: Tod und Verklaerung, Opus 24. . The members of the orchestra donate their time and the proceeds of the concerts are given to charities. For this concert we were delighted to support the HAS Foundation. In the charity's words “Named after our beautiful boy Hunter Alfred Stratton, we provide financial and emotional support to children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. We help them create moments of fun and laughter—moments that turn into beautiful, lifelong memories of a love that will never fade." This was an extraordinary event, and we sincerely thank all of you who attended and supported both us and our charity for this concert, the HAS Foundation. We hope to post some photos from the event soon on our Concerts page.       Click here to see our concerts on YouTube.
