Our musicians in medicine have been hard at work in the hospitals and at rehearsal. But we wouldn't be able to do all that we do without your support. This Giving Tuesday, you can help keep us playing with a tax-deductible donation: https://t.co/yv06MsLzjk Thank you!

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from NMO! We are grateful for all of your support and look forward to performing a beautiful concert next week!

In week 3, some of our musicians found props around the house that reminded them of the pieces that we will be performing.

Why do those instruments look so tiny?! "Symphonie Fantastique" calls for some special instruments, including the E flat clarinet and alto trombone pictured with our musicians!

See them in action at our concert on December 6th! Register here: https://t.co/2NBu8wPjie
