The evening, which will raise funds for City Music Foundation and Barts Heritage, will portray doctors both real and fictional and tell medical anecdotes through history with both gravity and humour. This musical anthology will be woven together by CMF Patron and actor Simon Callow into a unique narrative, and we will hear music from 18 CMF Artists.
