The Doctors' Orchestra & The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture - Medical Foundation - 14-12-2010
Following its sell-out all-Beethoven concert last February, The Doctorsâ Orchestra returns for another performance in support of the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture on the 15th February 2011 at Cadogan Hall.
Starting with Beethovenâs unjustly neglected second symphony, their programme also includes Blumine, a rarely heard Mahler gem. The orchestra is joined on this occasion by the young violin virtuoso Tamsin Waley-Cohen for a performance of Brahmsâs violin concerto. Described by Ruggiero Ricci as âthe most exceptionally gifted young violinist I have ever encounteredâ, Tamsin was the Royal College of Musicâs String Player of the year, has won numerous prizes and has performed with many major orchestras including the RPO, London Chamber Orchestra and the Orchestra of St Johnâs.
The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture, a registered charity established in 1985, is the only organisation in the UK dedicated solely to the treatment of torture survivors. Since its inception, almost 50,000 people have been referred to it for help. The MF offers medical consultation, examination, forensic documentation of injuries, psychological treatment, support and practical help to torture victims. It needs to raise over £7 million a year in order to continue this work. All proceeds of this concert will go towards meeting that need.
Cardogan Hall, home of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is one of Londons most prestigious concert halls. Tickets are £30, £22.50 and £15 and can be bought online at www.cadoganhall.com or through the box office on 020 7730 4500.

However, if it's for a good cause it can stay, unless there are any objections...

It crossed my mind to delete this and I don't mind saying that in public because we do have a policy of no ads on MD but as it was for a good cause I too thought it should stay!
