We sat together during rehearsals and the final performance, and she practiced her English with me since I don&#8217;t know any Ukrainian.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about her, her little brother, and her mother a lot these past few weeks. Fortunately they are safe so far. I&#8217;ve also been in contact with a few of the other musicians I met, and they are safe too. But they are scared and angry.
