Orchestra On Call

Orchestra On Call We bring live orchestral performances to patients, families and caregivers in various health care institutions throughout the Houston area.

Houston's Orchestra On Call (HOOC) brings live music performances to patients, families, and caregivers in different medical settings throughout the Texas Medical Center and Greater Houston area. Houston's Orchestra On Call is comprised of volunteer musicians who constitute the On Call ensembles and the HOOC Chamber Orchestra. The mission of the Houston’s Orchestra on Call is to enhance the lives

of patients as they go through the process of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery within a medical setting and to relieve emotional and mental stress in patients, families, doctors, staff and other health-allied professionals. HOOC, led by its Artistic Director, Carlos Guillermo Jung, offers programs that provide opportunity for reflection, inspiration and education for the audience and the membership.
