Reviews
All congratulations to the Longwood Symphony Orchestra for making the connection between music and medicine so visible and palpable. Following Dr. Albert Schweitzer's 'reverence for life' philosophy, Dr. Wong and each of her L.S.O. colleagues serve humanity on so many levels. -- Yo-Yo Ma I was impressed by the breadth and creativity of the program and the astonishing finesse. But this was neither the BSO nor the New England Conservatory. It was the Longwood Symphony Orchestra. Music nurtures, supports, sustains and empowers every aspect of human existence. How natural a companion, then, is music to our medical healers and the art they practice. Dr. Wong's absorbing narrative provides a loving window into the lives of medical professionals where healing and music dance in radiant harmony. An inspirational must-read for all who seek lives of joy and contribution. -- Mark Churchil, Dean Emeritus, New England Conservatory and Director of El Sistema, USA
