GBPSR and IPPNW are honored to have been selected as Community Partners for the 2018 season of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra’s (LSO’s) Healing Art of Music™ program. As Community Partners, we will be featured during an evening LSO concert on Saturday, October 13th, at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall in Boston, with proceeds benefiting our organizations’ efforts to prevent nuclear war. The concert, as well as a dinner beforehand, will be dedicated to the memory of Dr. Victor Sidel, who was a pioneer and leader of our two organizations.
