In addition to working with medical departments at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College, we have built relationships with some of the world's foremost musical institutions, providing our students with unique opportunities for mentorship, partnership and growth. In return, we provide specialized medical care and organize performing arts medical seminars for their musicians.
Historically, WCMC has partnered with students and faculty of the Juilliard School to shape the Music and Medicine Initiative. In the past, Juilliard faculty volunteered as coaches, and students at the two schools collaborated to organize and perform at events. We currently partner with many students from institutions / programs, such as The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, and NYU Steinhardt, and New York Youth Symphony, as well as other dedicated community members who share our passion for music’s role in medicine.
We are always seeking new partners to expand our initiative. Please contact us if you would like Music & Medicine to be a part of your program or organization.
The orchestra extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Weill Cornell Medical College, Weill Cornell Medical College Alumni Association, and The Rockefeller University, as well as to the many individuals whose generous financial support and resources have made this performance possible.
