Pianist/Survivor Minna Re Shin is on a Fundraising Mission

Thursday, July 7th, 2022

Fresh off the release of her Sonate Tableaux album, pianist Minna Re Shin is now on a support quest, looking to fundraise for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.

“Just as I began preparing for the production of this ambitious and audacious project, life threw me an unexpected curveball: I was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the wake of the disquieting news and in the face of uncertainty about my medical condition, medical intervention, and health outcomes, I was suddenly hurled onto an emotional rollercoaster—the psychological state of not knowing if and when I would be able to resume my project after surgery, not to mention my performing career, the very passion for my raison d’être. Fortunately, I was able to recover relatively quickly from the lumpectomy, and in a resilient fashion, I was back on my feet and back on track with my project that I had to temporarily put on hold.

“As a cancer survivor, I believe that we can all make a real difference in the fight against this life-threatening disease, one step at a time,” says Minna Re Shin.

Presented in collaboration with the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation and ombú productions, the Sonate Tableaux album and video launch / benefit concert event was recently held at Gallery Gora in Montreal. The night was a magical and memorable evening, and Minna is now continuing to fundraise for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation by starting a GoFundMe.

It is her hope and desire that we can collectively support the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation’s untiring commitment to defending the interests and well-being of people affected by this malignant disease, investing in breakthrough innovation, cutting-edge research, further treatment advancements, and patient-support programs, raising awareness about this multifactorial disease and creating a brighter future for breast cancer fighters, survivors, caregivers, and communities.
