Longwood Symphony Orchestra:
Now in its 19th season, the Longwood Symphony Orchestra began in 1982 as the
dream of a few medical students and physicians in the Longwood medical area .
It has since grown into a full-sized symphonic orchestra and is under the
direction of music director Francisco Noya Its dual mission is to benefit
medically-related and other community service nonprofit organizations while
presenting concerts of musical excellence, introducing Boston audiences to
new works, and supporting local artists.

The musicians of the LSO are drawn from many of Boston's major medical
institutions, as well as from the teaching, arts, and business professions.
The orchestra makes its home in the New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall
and has also appeared at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade, Kresge Auditorium
at MIT, the Collins Center in Andover, and the Keiter Center in Natick.

In addition to their dedication to music, the members of the LSO share a
genuine commitment to community service. This season's concerts will benefit
The Hospitality Program, Dimock Community Health Center, and the New England
Hemophilia Association. The October concert will honor the Albert Schweitzer
Foundation, and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Schweitzer Urban
Fellows Program, which was launched in 1991 in a citywide symposium on
"Reverence for Life," which culminated in a concert by the Longwood Symphony,
violinist Lynn Chang and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

feature a world premiere work by Argentinean composer Daniel Doura, written
expressly for the LSO and works by Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, among
others.. We will welcome guest conductor Jonathan McPhee, soprano Diana
