European Doctors Orchestra - making music for a good cause
Who we are and what we do...
We are an orchestra made up of doctors from across Europe. We perform at least two public charity concerts
a year, aiming to promote the public's understanding in the performance and appreciation of music, and also to benefit other charity projects (usually related to health and
well-being).

Current EDO strategy for next 3 years (brief summary):
1. Increase the number of Concerts we stage annually
Continue to put on at least 2 concerts a year that are financially viable and raise significant
funds for charity. In 2026 and 2027 put on 3 large scale concerts + in 2027 at least one other
(smaller) event, and explore whether there is the capacity to perform 4 times a year.
2. Increase the country and age diversity of the orchestra and number of players on Section
Organisers Active Player lists
To gradually, over the period 2024 – 2027, increase the diversity of the orchestra in terms of
number of European nationalities and the age profile, while maintaining both the very high
standard of the orchestra and the friendships and team spirit that define EDO.
3. Improve the governance of EDO
Ensure all documentation is up accurate, to date, accessible and regularly reviewed. Once
new website ready, all will be uploaded there for all players to see.
4. Improve the administrative systems of EDO, particularly the website
Enabling people to register and pay for taking part in an event online and download their
music and all information about a particular event from the website.
5. Enhance our communication: Website updates, Social media presence and quarterly
newsletter one of which would be our annual report.
