Bach To Health Home

The Bach to Health initiative was created by Eric Roter, M.D. (“E.R.”), a Board-Certified emergency room physician and Juilliard trained cellist to help support outstanding health-care charities and organizations

While a music student in NYC, Dr. Roter occasionally performed as a “street musician.” He never forgot the generosity of the thousands of passers-by who threw donations into an open instrument case.

After becoming a physician, Dr. Roter realized he could help far more people by combining his unique talents in medicine and music. He recreated his street-playing experiences by merging his recently recorded videos of J.S. Bach’s masterpiece “Cello Suites” with his own videos of Manhattan. Each of the 36 videos focuses on specific medical conditions he personally encounters in the emergency room and each is dedicated to an outstanding health-care charity to be used as a 24/7 “benefit concert” on the internet.

Music is the universal language and giving to charity is the noblest deed in the universe. Please visit each charity’s website and donate a dollar or two (or more if you can) to help them help others. Get involved with the National Health Council. Tell them you were sent from the “E.R.”
