A Concert for Kids with Cancer

Come join us for an evening of music, hope and community! Léandre Gaucher is a 16-year-old violinist and brain cancer survivor. On December 27, 2018, Léandre was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour and immediately underwent surgery, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Playing the violin gave Léandre great comfort throughout his journey, and he has continued to play – but with a purpose. On May 3, Léandre will perform alongside his brother Audrick and other young classical musicians at the Valois United Church in Pointe-Claire, to raise money for kids with cancer at the Montreal Children’s Hospital through Sarah’s Fund for Cedars. With this concert, Léandre hopes to give back and help other young cancer patients, while raising awareness of childhood cancer. All are welcome! Sean Henry, host of CBC Radio’s “Daybreak,” will host this special evening There will be a raffle at the event with great prizes, such as a T-shirt signed by the Montréal Canadiens, tickets to CF Montreal, tickets to Les Violons du Roy and Opera de Montréal and more.
