Yep.  The orchestra is made up of musicians affilitated with
the the medical school, medical research, the dental school,
pharmacy or nursing school, public health, or staff at the
hospital.

During rehearsals it's not unusual for a cell phone to go 
off and for everyone to have to wait until it's decided if
the patient needs more blood products given. ;-)

The Life Sciences Orchestra has split into two chamber
orchestras for the summer, one for strings and another for
winds and brass.  We will be having a recital for both 
groups on Sunday, August 12th.

On the program will be Elgar's Serenade for Strings, Borodin's
Nocturne, Grieg's Holberg Suite, and some Sibelius.  The
string ensemble is a small one with maybe 8 violins, two violas,
and two cellos.  

The music is light and fun.  I'm going to suggest we all wear
Hawiian shirts.
