The New York Philharmonic in Pyongyang

The New York Philharmonic on its historic trip to North Korea‘s capital, Pyongyang

“Astounding was the fact that the orchestra played the North Korean national anthem and the Star Spangled Banner on a stage flanked by flags of both nations … a rare moment of harmony, proving the power of music that bridges the divides.”

Cho Jae-hyon, The Korea Times (South Korea)


“For at least 90 minutes in a theatre in Pyongyang it was possible…to believe that 55 years of cold-war hostility were coming to an end.”

James Miles, The Economist
