Innovation. Discovery. Leadership.

NEXT WEEK, we’d like to invite you to join us as we celebrate these three qualities through discussion and music.

At the LSO, these qualities inform what we do, from our Healing Art of Music Program to our Community Conversations and to LSO on Call.

Longtime LSO trumpeter, Dr. Wolfram Goessling, was recently appointed as the new Harvard Medical School director of the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program and the new advisory dean and director of the Irving M. London Society.

Join members of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra for a special HUBweek performance at the Harvard Ed Portal in Brighton. In this hybrid lecture/performance, you'll hear from luminaries in the fields of music, medicine, and beyond sharing their research about leadership and experience leading in groups large and small. The Longwood Symphony Orchestra will explore the topic through a curated set of performances demonstrating the varied ways leadership can function in both music and medicine.

Lisa Wong, LSO Past President and violinist/violist, received an honorary doctorate from Wheelock College on May 20, 2016. Continue reading below for Wheelock's beautiful write-up of her address to the students. We're proud to call Lisa one of our own!
