The Project Prakash Foundation in partnership with the Longwood Symphony Orchestra invites you to an evening of classical music at Jordan Hall on October 7. Proceeds from the concert will benefit eye care screenings and surgeries for children with low vision and curable blindness in India.
Merging a humanitarian need with a scientific quest, Project Prakash is a dual-missioned nonprofit in Cambridge, Mass., that screens, identifies and treats children with curable blindness in India and then studies the impact of late onset of vision on the brain to then share with the world. Project Prakash has screened more than 30,000 children, operated on more than 600, published in leading scientific journals. Project Prakash has been endorsed by the Dalai Lama and featured on the TED Talk series.
The Longwood Symphony Orchestra is nationally recognized for its musical quality, innovative programming, and unique model of community engagement, the orchestra’s members are primarily healthcare professionals from Boston’s leading hospitals and universities, including doctors, medical students, research scientists, nurses, therapists, and caregivers–many of whom pursued music studies before turning to medicine.
