Local Cello Festival - left cellists John Ehde and Paul Marleyn play for patrons of the West Broadway Community Ministry . When people in the West Broadway area talk about “intervention”, The intervention that will happen here on June 18th is of the more positive kind. We are thrilled to be hosting one of the 30 “Cello interventions” that will be happening across the city at noon to kick off the International Cello Festival of Canada.Many of the people who eat lunch at West Broadway Community Ministry’s drop-in struggle on a daily basis just to survive. While a half hour cello concert may not bring about the radical changes that are needed to improve the lives of those living in poverty, people will experience a few moments of beauty, some respite from a harsh world. .story by Oliver Sachgau .
