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.
