Tsunami Alert!

Don't worry, we're OK, but we woke up this morning to a Tsunami Alert. Apparently there was an earthquake somewhere in the Pacific region that triggered an alert. Unfortunately, the school where we were to perform this morning is in a tsunami inundation zone and had to cancel classes for the day just in case. None of us have ever experienced a Tsunami cancellation, but we were glad that it worked out for us to play at our second school, St. Joseph's Elementary.


Clarinetist Jim Moffit, a graduate of St. Mary's School, enjoys this moment with future St. Joseph's graduates.

This evening we had dinner with Tom Geballe and his wife Carole, both flutists as it turns out, and Judy and Chuck Wakely, neither of whom play flute! (Judy played piano and Chuck played trumpet in former lives.) We discussed a possible return trip for Chamber Music Hawaii musicians in the fall of 2006.

Tomorrow is our formal concert at UH-Hilo Performing Arts Center at 7:30pm. We hope to see you there!
