About the Longwood Chorus
The mission of the Longwood Chorus, a 70-voice ensemble of Boston's healthcare and science community, is to perform exciting and diverse music and to spread harmony in healthcare.
Since its founding in 2017, the Longwood Chorus has brought together singers of various healthcare backgrounds – medical, graduate, and public health students, researchers, clinical research coordinators, therapists, nurses, residents, and attending physicians – from local schools and hospitals, including Harvard Medical School, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Through biannual concerts and outreach performances at hospitals and community events, the Longwood Chorus hopes to decrease medical burnout, promote emotional wellness, and perform high-quality choral music.
