The Health and Wellness Community Orchestra
Leslie Stewart, Music Director
The Health and Wellness Community Orchestra is based in Fort Collins, Colorado. Our first concert was in December of 2008 at Poudre Valley Hospital. The orchestra is composed of musicians who love to play for improving health and for the enjoyment (wellness) of our audience. We now rehearse and perform at the University Center of the Arts at Colorado State University.

We are pleased to announce that the Health and Wellness Community Orchestra has been awarded a Fort Fund grant for the 2021-22 concert season. This is the second grant from Fort Fund that our orchestra has received from the City of Fort Collins.
Our grant for the 2020-21 season is being used to pay for live-streaming our upcoming concert this Sunday, May 2 , 2021 at 3PM. The concert will be performed for live-streaming only in the Atrium of the new Grays Peak Health Sciences Building on the Front Range Community College Larimer Campus. FRCC has generously made this facility available for our rehearsals and concert this spring.
The program will open with Albinoni’s popular Adagio in g minor, led by our Assistant Conductor Noelle Bauman-Stucky. Our harpist, Katie Miksch, will be featured in Debussy’s Danses Sacre and Profane. The program will conclude with Tchaikovsky’s String Serenade. The final two works will be conducted by our Music Director, Leslie Stewart.

Founded by Dr. Ann Yanagi in October 2008, the Health and Wellness Community Orchestra was initially envisioned to give playing opportunities to employees of the Poudre Valley Health System (now University of Colorado
Health). These members have included medical doctors, registered nurses, pharmacist, unit assistant and transcriptionist, as well as hospital staff who work in various departments including medical records, housekeeping and the UCHS Foundation. The orchestra now includes people from all walks of life as well as several private music instructors, school music teachers, students and professors from Colorado State University and Front Range Community College.
