"I'm honoured to chair the benefit evening for La SAMS. This extraordinary organization offers respite and comfort to vulnerable or ill people through music, a magical art that has the power to unite people and bring them moments of gentleness and humanity. TD Wealth Management is proud to support La SAMS and to help spread the benefits of music to those who need it most."
- Suzanne Tremblay, Vice-President, Regional Head, Quebec and Atlantic, Private Banking, TD Wealth Management
"I didn't hesitate for a second when La SAMS asked me to host their benefit evening. I'll never forget the happiness and sparkle in the eyes of my father, who suffers from Alzheimer's, when an artist came to sing at his residence. For me, these comforting musical moments, like so much care for the soul, are the very definition of essential services."
- Sophie Fouron, host of Chassés-croisés (TV5) and Retour vers la culture (ARTV/RC), named TV Host of the Year at the Dynasty 2024 gala
Music for health!
We've come a long way since the very first La SAMS concert in the fall of 2009!

Through your support, you make the music, talent and kindness of our artists accessible to seniors in institutions and at home, to patients in hospitals, oncology, dialysis, palliative care, mental health, and in centers for women in difficulty.
Thank you on behalf of our 200 artists and the 70,000 residents, patients, seniors at home, caregivers and healthcare staff who benefit from their visits.
