Oh, no!!!!
I hope her injury is minor, and that she recovers quickly and completely.
Good luck and best wishes, dear Ms. Joao Pires!!!!
She stumbled on the street while touring with the Neojiba Orchestra earlier this month. In Amsterdam it was difficult for her to walk onto the stage. Ricardo Castro had to support her.
