Léandre Gaucher is a 14-year-old violinist and brain cancer survivor. On December 27th, 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 February 11th, 2023, Léandre will perform alongside his brother Audrick and other classical musicians at the Valois United Church in Pointe-Claire, to raise money for kids with cancer at the Montreal Childrens Hospital through Sarahs 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! The concert will feature: Juliette Duguay-Patenaude: harp Chloe Dumoulin-piano Audrick Gaucher-violin Léandre Gaucher-violin Kerry-Ann Kutz-voice Maria Sankeralli-voice Elliot Tsai-cello Sebastien Tsai -violin
