About Me
- Longwood Symphony Orchestra
- Established in 1982, the Longwood Symphony Orchestra (LSO) began as the dream of a few medical students and physicians and has grown into a symphony orchestra recognized for musical quality, innovative programming, and a unique business model of community engagement. Most of the LSO’s 120 musicians are drawn from Boston’s illustrious medical community. In addition to their dedication to music, the members of the LSO share a genuine commitment to community service. In 1991, the LSO made the significant decision to use its performances to raise both funds and awareness for various medical causes through its Healing Art of Music Program. Since that time, LSO has collaborated with 30 organizations, raising over $800,000 to aid Boston’s medically underserved. In recognition of its dual mission of community service and musical performance, the LSO received the 2007 MetLife Award for Excellence in Community Engagement from the League of American Orchestras.
