World Doctors Orchestra Performs Benefit Concert at St. Bartholomew's Church

On November 15, 2025, the day before its Carnegie Hall debut, the World Doctors Orchestra performed a benefit concert for Creatives Care in the sanctuary of St. Bartholomew’s Church on Park Avenue. Conductor Joseph Alessi led the program the orchestra would bring to Carnegie Hall the next afternoon, with violinist Charlie Siem and pianist Dr. Richard Kogan.

Dr. Alana Mendelsohn, Co-Founder of Creatives Care, spoke to the audience about the mental health challenges artists face and the work the concert’s proceeds would support.
