A Wave of Warmth for the NY Philharmonic

The NY Philharmonic has performed its concert in Pyongyang, North Korea. The article in the NY Times is very interesting and informative.

It seems that the concert was well-received by the North Korean people. The final song, "Arirang", a North Korean folksong brought many tears to the Korean audience and the members of the Philharmonic.

As a musician in this country, it is encouraging to see this response from the people of Korea. As I've stated before, classical music is a universal language and can say a lot by itself.
