The U-M Life Sciences Orchestra is a program of Arts in Health at Michigan Medicine and relies on donations of all sizes and dues paid by our members to fund all expenses associated with preparing for and presenting two free annual concerts at Hill Auditorium.
Michael DiPietro, MD, and his wife Alice Fishman have helped ensure that the LSO will endure far into the future, with a generous gift that helps create an endowment for the orchestra.
