Megan Walker shares what Angel Street means to her as an initiative to raise awareness about violence against women in London

Edwards, Elisabeth

Megan Walker
Corner of Angel Street and Richmond Street
Warning: This story deals with material that some listeners may find triggering and upsetting,
including discussions of sexual abuse.
Hi, my name is Megan Walker and I’m the Executive Director of the London Abused Women’s
Centre, a member of an extraordinary team of women who are providing front line service to
women who are abused. I’m here today on Angel Street, to talk about what’s happening.
I have worked at the London Abused Women’s Centre for almost 25 years, and like almost... all
women, I come with my own experience, everything I have done in my adult life around ending
male violence against women is because of those experiences. And so for me, you know I
remember being a kid and not knowing where to go or what to do, and there used to be a
Waterloo Street bus at Ryerson Public School, and I would get on that bus and take it to the
London Public Library and really just sit, and think, you know? And that’s what I do with Angel
Street, I just, I sit on the grass by the fence and I just… it’s an opportunity for me to reflect, and
to try to think of ways to move forward. And what inspires me on Angel Street to do that, is that
I feel that those women who have been killed, many of whom I know their children, I always feel
they’re sort of with me. And I make a commitment to them during my meditation that I am going
to do everything I can to end this atrocity against women.

Story 43-1 Megan Walker Interview

Beryl Chernick shares her experience attending the Talmud Torah (Hebrew School) in her youth

Dingwell, Margaret

My name is Beryl Chernick. This is the building on 324 Hill. So I attended Talmud Torah from the time I started Hebrew school. So what that meant was I would go to Ryerson––because by then we had moved from the neighbourhood––and then at 4:30 I had to be at Hebrew school. So a bunch of us would go from school together on the bus and that would be Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoon and then Sunday morning we would also go for an hour and a half. So I spent a lot of time in that building clearly. [laughs] 

Talmud means learning and Torah is Jewish law. I mean, it means everything not just the actual Torah. It was learning history. It was learning religion, religious beliefs and practices, and you know, life cycle events, and the religious holidays of the year. I only remember celebrations there [laughs] cause -ah- that was the place that we gathered when something was organized to happen like that. There was an auditorium and plays and other kinds of community celebrations and lots of food [laughs] would be happening there. 

So it was our socialization in a group. Cause at school in general we had other friends. And then this was another group of friends, and for me, actually, it must have been quite bonding cause when I was an adolescent we spent practically every Saturday night as a group together. It was a focus for, obviously, lots of joyous things.

Resume
Mexican violinist, Frangel Lopez-Cesena, began his musical studies at nine years old at the 
Baja California Sur School of Music under Luis Pelaez-Garcia. As a talented youth, he was 
concertmaster of the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Mexico and performed in the First 
International Meeting for Peace, Tolerance and Dialogue, project supported by the 
legendary conductor, Claudio Abbado. Frangel has been invited to play at the Camerata de 
las Americas and the National Symphony Orchestra (Mexico), and appeared as guest soloist 
with a number of Mexican orchestras such as the Philharmonic Orchestra of Zacatecas, 
performing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto.
Already one of Mexico's bright young talents at age 26, Frangel has performed all over 
Mexico, the US, Canada, Italy, Germany, France, and Portugal sharing the stage with 
musicians like Patricia Ahern, Horacio Franco, Vladimir Mendelsohn, Alondra de la Parra, 
Francisco Savin, and Anatoli Zatin. He has participated in numerous master classes offered 
by internationally known violinists, for example Martin Chalifour, Michael W. Davis, Joseph 
Gold, Ryu Goto, Paul Huang, Pavel Popov, Jorge Risi, and Alexander Treger.
Frangel studied a bachelor degree in violin performance from the Superior School of Music 
of the National Institute of Fine Arts (Mexico) under Cuauhtemoc Rivera-Guzman. He holds 
a Master's degree in Music from the Colorado State University, where he studied with Dr. 
Ronald Francois and performed as concertmaster of the CSU Symphony Orchestra under 
Maestro Wes Kenney. He has earned first prize in both the 2014 National "Tomas Ruiz 
Ovalle" Violin Competition of Mexico and the 2017 CSU Concerto Competition. Currently he 
is undertaking doctoral studies on full scholarship under Prof. Annette-Barbara Vogel at 
Western University.
His research and performance interests are baroque music, contemporary repertoire for 
violin, violin history, musical hermeneutics, rhetoric, music semiotics and agency. Recently, 
Frangel presented his research of Virtual Agency Analysis on Biber's "Annunciation" at the 
First International Student Research Encounter in Music and Musicology held in Evora, 
Portugal.
