Now in its 20th season, the World Doctors Orchestra has grown to include over 2000 physician-musicians from over 60 countries. Four times a year, physicians from around the world meet for several days of intensive rehearsals to then exchange their white coats for evening attire and perform charity concerts. The proceeds from each concert session go to selected medical aid organizations. In addition to the direct financial contribution, organizations benefit substantially from the international solidarity and media attention associated with WDO concerts.
