Padjen with an aim to reinforce the study of the humanities at the faculty in the belief that training in music may contribute to turning out better physicians. I Medici di McGill ensemble is distinctive as an institution at the University, perhaps the only organized multigenerational activity at the University that brings over 65 staff, students, alumni and friends together for regular social interactions and community outreach and support, such as this concert.
