A musical dialogue

A musical dialogue

On September 18, 2025, we held our first exceptional concert, organised in the prestigious setting of the Collège de France. The event featured a musical dialogue led by Erik Orsenna, writer and member of the Académie française, and performed by Claire-Marie Le Guay, concert pianist.

More than 300 people gathered for this special occasion, centred around three key themes:

  • LEARN – with the moving testimony of Stéphanie Fugain, founder of the Laurette Fugain Association,who gave a voice to patients and caregivers.
  • UNDERSTAND – with Prof. Hugues de Thé explaining the mechanisms of leukemia and sharing his passion for research.
  • HEAL – with an inspiring talk by Prof. André Baruchel, exploring the three dimensions of healing: medical, societal and psychological.

A unique moment bringing together science and music in support of leukemia research.
