Had a wonderful time playing Bach and Chopin 🎹 at the Doctors in Recital last weekend benefitting @McGovernPeds 🎵 🎶 @UTHealthHouston @UTH_Pedisurg – at Houston, TX
Medicine plus music added up to a beautiful event recently when UTHealth Houston physicians took to the stage at Doctors in Recital to benefit the Department of Pediatrics.
A special note of appreciation to @SteinwayHouston for hosting at Museo.
