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.
If you would like to learn more about how the ADO came to be, the founder of the ADO, Dr. Miklós Pohl, has just published his book 'Music is Medicine'
with all proceeds benefitting the not-for-profit motor neurone disease support organisation MND Victoria. To read more about the book and order it, please
