It is hard to find the words to express our shock, our sorrow and our
deep sympathy for all those whose lives have been lost or changed
forever by this terrible tragedy. We all know someone or know people
who have friends who are still missing and unaccounted for in New
York City. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you all.

We are in Chicago right now, wondering if our tour can continue. How
does `normal' life resume for an entire people in a state of shock
and trauma? We are waiting to see as, some more days go by, whether
we have any part to play in what must be a time of both personal and
national mourning.

If music can be a way for us all to come together and share, as a
community, in expressing both our grief and our understanding that
life will go on for those who have survived, then we hope we can be
worthy of that task. We will let you know as soon as we can if there
are to be any cancellations in our scheduled performances.

With love
Carole and Maria
