A musical evening for a good cause. ‘Pouce la vie’ has been organising musical events, in aid of the Flavien Foundation, since 2018. Created in 2014 by Denis Maccario, in honour of his son who died of cancer at the age of eight, the charity organises many initiatives in its fight to treat the disease. For this sixth edition, the proceeds from the event will again be donated to paediatric cancer research. The concert will begin at 8 pm at the Rainier III Auditorium and will end at 10.30 pm.
