The Irish Doctors Orchestra will be performing live at UCD Ad Astra Hall on Sunday 18 May. This unique fundraising concert will feature a 50-piece orchestra made up of doctors from across Ireland, playing scores from beloved movies — from heart-stopping thrillers to feel-good classics.
All proceeds will go to St James’s Hospital Foundation, which will be supporting arts and health programmes at St James’s with the proceeds — bringing joy, connection, and creativity to patients through the arts.
Dr Emily Boyle, a founding orchestra member and a Consultant Vascular Surgeon based in Dublin, highlighted what attendees at Ad Astra Hall can expect on the day.
“We will have professional violinist and conductor, Patrick Rafter, and a 50-piece orchestra on the night. The orchestra is a unique gathering of medics who love to play classical music and we are thrilled to support the St James’s Hospital Foundation and the Creative Life programme which enable so many patients and medical staff to gain access to the benefits of creativity, which is such a central part of life for all of us in the orchestra”.
