The European Doctors Orchestra was founded in 2004 by plastic surgeon Miklos Pohl and GP Mike Lasserson, with the first concert held in Blackheath Halls Greenwich, London. Our purpose is to raise money for health-related or children’s charities, to spread the joy and appreciation of music as widely as we can and to create a nurturing space for doctors from all over Europe to enjoy a restorative weekend playing music and socialising.
We have played over 40 concerts and have nearly 500 present or past players who come from 23 different European countries. We have supported 28 charities and raised over £250,000. The doctors pay their own accommodation and travel and a registration fee that covers all expenses including the cost of the concert. The cost of each concert ticket purchased goes directly to our chosen charity.
