DUO CECILIA
Gertrude Létourneau and Catherine Donkin, Duo Cecilia, are excellent, engaging musicians. Their programs are rich in depth and variety, their sound is elegant, and their ensemble impeccable. They change colours and styles effortlessly throughout their scope of repertoire.
PLUS, they are completely charming on stage and off. Our audiences, seniors in long-term and memory care, assisted and independent living, and members of Seniors’ Active Living Centres, welcome Duo Cecilia with open arms every time, and the feedback is always full of superlatives.
Concerts in Care highly recommends Gertrude and Catherine as both superb professional musicians and community engagers with heart and soul.
