Presenting Cellist Prodigy Stéphane Tétreault in a Concert to Benefit Children’s Music Education in Point St. Charles

The concert features works by Antonin Dvorak: his Symphony No. 9 “From the New World,” and the Cello Concerto in B minor with Stéphane Tétreault as well as a presentation by the children in the program.
Stephane is one of Canada’s most promising young cellists. In addition to being selected to compete in the prestigious 2011 Tchaikovsky International Competition, Stéphane received numerous award including the First Prize in the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Standard Life-OSM 2007 Competition, the 2013 Choquette-Symcox Award from the Jeunesses Musicales du Canada Foundation, and the F.
