On Sunday, January 31, 2010, Longwood Symphony Orchestra and New England Conservatory joined forces for Symphonic Relief for Haiti, A Global Concert to benefit Partners in Health.  The concert, held at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, was an amazing joining of vocal and musical talent to raise money for Partners in Health, benefiting Haiti.  To follow the efforts, please visit www.symphonicrelief.org.  The concert on Sunday is one of many concerts occurring worldwide.  This concert will be Broadcast on Sunday, February 7, 2010, at 10PM on WSBK TV38.

Having worked with Longwood Symphony Orchestra in the past, I jumped at the opportunity to donate my time and photograph this event.  I urge you all to view the Broadcast on Sunday, February 7, 2010 or if you are not local, check out this site which may have information on concerts in your area.

I wanted to share a few of the images captured at Sunday’s amazing concert.  Enjoy and please support Partners in Health!

On Sunday, I joined a few vendors including Amber Roma of Go Platinum Salon and Spa, Stephanie of Stephanie’s Floral Design, the amazing massage therapist, Cassie Winkle of Studio 786 Salon & Day Spa , and Lisa Porro, an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay at Precious Memories in Malden for their first Sample Sale. It was a lot of fun and a big success! Here are some pictures of the event.

I had the please of working with Boston’s Longwood Symphony Orchestra during the month of August.  I photographed several rehearsals, their concert at Walnut Hill School, and their performance on August 20th, at the Hatch Shell in Boston.  Lainey Schulbaum and Philip Doyle recorded the audio and mixed the soundtrack to two movies we put together.

Many of you may not realize that this talented group of musicians have a day job – most of them are in the medical field.  We put together two interviews of the Orchestra’s members, Dr. Lisa Wong and Dr. Dany Krause.
