In the first concert of its 2022-2023 season, the Texas Medical Center Orchestra (TMCO) will focus on “The Power of the Human Spirit” to experience emotions and survive even the toughest moments in life. Dvorak’s Carnival is part of a trilogy of overtures – this one is the second – “Life” symbolizing joy. When you hear a joyful melody, it can transport you to a happier place and elevate your mood. Schumann suffered from mental illness, yet his 3rd symphony radiates joy. When one focuses on joy, their spirits benefit from the positive thought, and those who wish can tap into this emotion, even while they are deeply depressed.
Established in 2000, the Texas Medical Center Orchestra (TMCO) is one of the very few orchestras with its origin in the health professions. Most of the members are health professionals who have a dedication to music that goes beyond their daily occupations. The mission of the orchestra is to provide fellowship for its members, contribute culturally to the community, and raise awareness for medical and other local charities through its concerts and other events.
