2. World Doctors Orchestra

The World Doctors Orchestra (WDO) combines the pleasure of fine music with charity. Two to three times a year, some hundred physicians from over thirty nations exchange their white coats for evening attire and perform a benefit concert for people in need of healthcare. The proceeds from each concert go to selected non-profit medical aid organisations.

Founder and conductor of the WDO is Stefan Willich, professor at Charité University Medical Center in Berlin, Germany. Following successful appearances in Berlin, Cleveland, Taipei, Yerevan, Washington, Beijing and Shanghai, the orchestra makes its first visit to South Africa. The proceeds from the concert will go to the Hugo Tempelman Foundation in Elandsdoorn, near Johannesburg, which supports medical and social care for people suffering from AIDS/HIV.
