Through LSO's Community Conversations program, Longwood Symphony Orchestra promotes community-wide dialogue among today's experts in the arts and sciences on the intersection of music and medicine.During the 2007-2008 season, Longwood Symphony worked with medical schools and community groups to present Community Conversations on Global AIDS Day and International Women's Day. Musicians, artists, and medical experts gathered for medical lectures and musical performances. In June 2008, LSO's weeklong tour to London, "Bridging the Atlantic: Artful Innovations in Cancer Care" was an opportunity for cancer specialists from the orchestra to share medical breakthroughs and musical concerts with British colleagues.
In 2009, LSO hosted "Crossing the Corpus Callosum: Neuroscience, Healing, and the Arts," a symposium that combined musical performances with lectures on arts and healing and brought together experts from across New England.
Join us this season for further exploration into the fascinating connections between the arts and healing. For more information, please contact LSO at info@longwoodsymphony.org or 617.667.1527.
