Oxfordshire
singing star Zoë Mace
will be
performing at a London concert
to mark the
sixth anniversary
of the 9/11
terrorist attacks
A second concert will be held simultaneously in Hanover
Square, New York, where a British Memorial Garden is being
created to mark the 67 British victims of the attack on
the World Trade Center in 2001.
The Prince of Wales is the patron of the project,
covering a three-quarter acre site.
Zoë, who was only six when two jets were flown into the
twin towers, will sing Puccini's Mio Babbino Caro, and Voi
Che Sapete from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro during next
week's concert.
She said: "I feel really privileged that they
asked me to do this concert because it's an amazing event.
"I don't remember seeing the twin towers on
television but remember seeing mum and dad's faces and
everyone being really devastated.
"It was just such a shock to everyone and was a
really terrible event."
Zoë shot to fame across Oxfordshire three years ago
after releasing her first album Little Ray of Light, which
was dedicated to her little sister Jodie and raised money
for the Oxford Children's Hospital.
Her second album, Songs for my Sister, was released to
boost funds for the Down's Syndrome Association following
the death of four-year-old Jodie, who had Down's Syndrome
and died after major heart surgery in 2005.
Her third album, called Once Upon a Time, is being
recorded at the moment, and is due to go on sale next
month.
The London concert is free and starts at 6pm on
Tuesday.
