Semmelweis 250 International Medic Orchestra Tour

The grand finale of Semmelweis University’s 250th anniversary year celebrations is a unique series of concerts spanning the Visegrad Countries (Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia). Four concerts are organized by Semmelweis University’s International Medic Orchestra, dedicating the events to all health care workers for their unrestricted commitment to fighting the coronavirus. The concert series is supported by the Visegrad Fund.

The ensemble, led by Gergely Dubóczky, conductor and artistic director, is made up of students of Semmelweis University and other Hungarian universities, who are joined by the students of Semmelweis University’s international partner institutions. There is longstanding cooperation between the participating universities including student and staff mobility and several research projects. The concert series symbolizes the strong cohesion and the harmonious relationship between the four universities. The one-of-a-kind cooperation arches over professions, cultures, and borders, bringing together medicine, art, music, and people from all over the V4 countries.

The first event of the jubilee concert series took place in Budapest in March 2020 with great success. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, further concerts were postponed to autumn 2021.

Registration is required! (please see registration link below, at the given event)
