>Like everyone around the world, we at Allied Arts have been saddened and
>stunned by the events of the past week.  And like most people, I suspect,
>we've also wondered about the importance of our day-to-day work in the face
>of such overwhelming tragedy and loss.  The things which occupied us last
>Monday seem so trivial this Monday.
>
>Arts events in New York, Washington, and here at home were cancelled or
>postponed.  It seemed the right thing to do.  And yet, I know that it is the
>arts which are--and will be--so integral to the our response as human beings
>to the atrocities we have witnessed.
>
>Who has not been moved by the children's drawings of the firemen, or the
>impromptu choruses at Lincoln Center or on the steps of the Capitol, or even
>at Union Park so close to the Trade Center site?  We will all move through
>the valley of the shadow of death, at least in part, through song, or dance,
>or painting, or poetry--for it is the arts which give expression to that
>which is beyond words.
>
>We've seen the worst that man can be in the past week.  I hope you will find
>your way into one of our concert halls or museums or theatres in the weeks
>to come to experience some of the best that man can be.  A good start might
>be this week's Chattanooga Symphony concert featuring two monumental works
>by Beethoven, a man unsurpassed in depicting tragedy and triumph through
>music.
>
>Tonight at sundown begins the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah.  May it bring
>better days.
>
>Shalom.
