Northwestern Medical Orchestra

Who we are

The Northwestern Medical Orchestra was founded in the Spring of 2018 by first-year Feinberg medical students. We are proud to have over 100 musicians who are students, faculty, residents, researchers, and staff in the Northwestern medical community. We are still a student-run organization and aim to share our music with patients, friends, and the wider community through multiple concerts every year.
