Musique Pour Médecins (in English, 'Music for Doctors') is a fundraiser concert hosted by Mitchell Conservatorium on behalf of Médecins Sans Frontières, Australia.

This concert will feature seasoned local musicians who have donated their time and talents to the event. Performers include Michelle Griffin, David McKay, Cindy Fox, Jon Lewis, Glen Wholohan, Catherine Brown, Olivia Fisher, and local wind quintet Quintwood. The evening will begin with wine and hors d'œuvres, after which the audience will be treated to the music of French composers such as Bizet, Debussy, Faure, Schönberg, Ravel, and Tiersen.

The concert will be held on Friday, 22nd October in The Orchard Room of Mitchell Conservatorium. Guests are asked to arrive at 6.30 for a 7pm start. Tickets cost $25 each and will be available at the door.

All money raised by this event will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières, the world's leading independent organisation for emergency medical humanitarian aid.

Every year MSF sends around 3,000 international field workers to work alongside 22,000 national staff, to bring emergency medical assistance to the people who need it most and may otherwise have no access to even the most basic life-saving health services. Our concert is in support of the hundred Australian doctors who join in this work each year. For further information, please visit MSF Australia
