Joining the Montreal Doctors Orchestra
Welcome to I Medici di McGill! Since 1989, we have brought together more than 500 musicians from the medical and biomedical community to explore the connection between music and healing. Whether you are a student, healthcare professional, or passionate musician, we invite you to audition and join our mission-driven community.
There are two ways to get involved: our full symphony orchestra for those able to commit to regular rehearsals, and our Melodies of Hope chamber ensembles, which offer a flexible opportunity to perform for patients in hospitals and care facilities.
We strive to include every musician who auditions. If space in the orchestra is limited, we will work with you to find a place in a Melodies of Hope ensemble so your talent can help bring comfort and connection through music. Please follow the steps below to begin your audition process.
