Our Classical Cabaret Evening benefit event, which took place at the Cabaret lion d’Or on December 4th, was a great success, and this is thanks to you!
This beautiful evening allowed us to raise a magnificent amount of more than $60,000. Thanks to your generous participation, you promote the accessibility of classical music to children from disadvantaged backgrounds, thus encouraging discovery and learning.
We hope that you enjoyed this enchanted parenthesis of sharing, laughting and music thanks to the performances of the renowned cellist Stéphane Tétreault and the young violist recipient of the AIDA scholarship Wilhelm Magner.
