The Houston Medical Center is one of the largest employers in the city and attracts thousands of visitors daily. Either by car or light rail, getting around the medical center during rush hour is enough to send anyone's blood pressure through the roof. Ever concerned for our health and well being, the good doctors and medical professionals at Methodist have come up with a way to lessen the rush hour stress. Methodist Hospital's Center for Performing Arts Medicine program is hosting a series of "rush hour concerts," from 5:15 to 5:45 p.m. in the Crain Garden Lobby of The Methodist Hospital. This Wednesday, April 1, the Doctors Orchestra of Houston will join Russian pianist Zoya Shuhatovich and conductor Libi Lebel to perform Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. Future concerts will feature traditional Indian music, solo guitar performances, and a concert chorale. Details for upcoming concerts can be found here.
