Queensland Medical Choir recently lost one of our Basses in May this year. Dr Andrew Bryant will be sorely missed by all of us. His family and colleagues have gathered to raise awareness of mental health issues in Health Professionals. His son, John Bryant, will be doing the Noosa Triathalon in his memory and to raise funds for Beyond Blue. To support his venture, click on the LINK HERE.
We will be dedicating 'Virtuosis Gala' to Dr Bryant and proceeds from this concert will be donated to Beyond Blue. Beyond Blue has done phenomenal work with their Doctors' Mental Health Program, which has not only provided support to health professionals in need, but also funded research, data collection as well as raising awareness in this area. Queensland Medical Orchestra and Choir would like to use this opportunity to raise awareness and acknowledge the importance of mental health support for our colleagues and members.

We are so very proud of Queensland Medical Orchestra and all our supporters.
Today, Dr Ryan Williams (our Artistic Director), Dr Penny Mainstone (bass clarinettist and palliative care physician), Dr Roger Allison (bass clarinettist and radiation oncologist), Emma Lumsden (4th year medical student, pianist and managing director of Ashintosh Foundation), visited Karuna Hospice Services and presented them with a cheque for $14000. This was money raised from our 'Care to Dance?' concert, in memory of Dr John Roberts whom we lost to pancreatic cancer last year. We are sincerely thankful to our sponsors, musicians, guest performers, Queensland Ballet Academy and everyone in our audience for their support - without whom we would not have been able to raise such a phenomenal amount for Karuna. The funds will ensure that Karuna can continue to provide such an important service to our community.
This was an outcome beyond our expectations, so a very sincere big Thank You to all our supporters.
