A Carnegie Hall Benefit for Artists' Mental Health
World Doctors Orchestra · Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall
On the evening of November 16, 2025, the World Doctors Orchestra made its New York debut at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium — and dedicated the entire evening to Creatives Care. The concert raised tens of thousands of dollars for our care navigation work and was the culmination of more than a year of partnership-building between the medical and arts communities.

With our deepest thanks
To the World Doctors Orchestra — the international ensemble of physicians who, since 2008, have dedicated their music to medical and health causes worldwide — and especially to Dr. Diego Gonzalez Tucker, Dr. Celine Thum, Dr. Richard Tucker, Jonathan deVare, the conductors, soloists, musicians, and everyone behind the scenes: thank you. The proceeds funded care navigation for many artists, and the collaboration set a tone we hope to carry forward for years to come.
