Pianist Serhiy Salov held hour-long concerts on a Montreal street to honour his homeland, Ukraine, and attempt to raise money to help the soldiers fighting Russia's invasion.
A car screeched to a halt, a chorus of honks filled the air and an ambulance siren wailed on Montreal’s Sherbrooke Street.
For two weeks, an hour a day, spectators admired Salov’s renditions of the anthem, of Mozart and Chopin, but few on the curb recognized him. Though, perhaps they should have. “I would like to be helping by contracting arms, or working diplomatic circles,’ he says. “But this is beyond my grasp.”
