The Longwood Symphony Orchestra (LSO), now in its 17th concert season, is a unique orchestra based in the greater Boston area whose dual mission is to perform high-quality classical music concerts while benefiting other nonprofit organization Under the direction of Artistic Director Francisco Noya, the "Orchestra of Boston's Medical Community" is .composed primarily of physicians, staff, and students representing eighteen major hospitals and three medical schools.

The LSO began as the dream of some Harvard medical students to continue pursuing their love of music even while pursuing their medical careers. The dream quickly matured into a full-size symphonic orchestra based in Boston. The orchestra performs regularly in New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall. It performs an annual summer concert at the Hatch Memorial Shell on the Esplanade. The Longwood Symphony has also appeared at Kresge Auditorium at MIT, the New England Life Hall, and on the Harvard Medical School campus.

Over its sixteen-year tenure, the LSO's beneficiaries have included the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the Massachusetts Chapter of the March of Dimes, the National SIDS Foundation, and the National Council for Spinal Cord Injury, among many others. This year's concerts will touch the lives of thousands of children as the LSO performs benefit concerts for the Boston Private Industry Council's School-to-Careers programs and The Kids at St. Jude's Hospital.
