In 2008, a historic event took place: The New York Philharmonic, under the baton of acclaimed conductor Lorin Maazel (1930-2014) traveled to Pyongyang, North Korea to perform a concert at East Pyongyang Grand Theatre. It was the first time since the Korean War that significant US-American cultural representatives were permitted to visit the secluded country. This event captures a historic moment in which music found itself navigating sensitive political realities, and revealed its unique power - the power to awaken human minds and to push for change by creating moments of communication, unity, and hope.
The New York Philharmonic began the concert by performing the national anthems of North Korea and the United States, followed by a program that introduced the audience to European and US-American classics - Richard Wagner, Antonín Dvořák, George Bizet, Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin's "An American in Paris". The orchestra closed the concert with the famous Korean folk song "Arirang", which is beloved in both, South and North Korea.

The audiences probably forced to believe the artists came to pay respect for their Supreme Leader
Oh! Supreme Lord, Creator of the universe, we pray for your divine mercy that Human Society in every corner of this earth of Repeated Birth and death UNITE as ONE. Spread Peace within and without. Let us walk in the path of compassion, truth, pure Love, selflessness for the wellbeing of all.❤❤❤🛐🛐🛐
Music promotes understanding therefore peace.
Music can heal world's divisions. Sure, understand.
I never knew this happened.
We need this music and Libra singing to keep peace in the world. Let's have us all to keep each other in Gods hands!!! The world has to change for all of us to tolerate each other! Love to all!
This is such beautiful music, a treasure for the world, first time my hearing it. Yes, talk.
Beautiful 😊
SO moving! It was incredible they chose Airirang to end on, an American group playing an North Korean arrangement of a song N and S Koreans all have claim to as their national identity. Music can really unite us if only for a moment. The audience was so cool to see too, everyone's reactions and their appreciation at the end. It makes me wonder, do they listen to classical alot in NK? Is it popular? And do audiences observe the same "rules" (no clapping between movements etc) that we do or are there different conventions?
So wonderful! My favourite composition ever... Arirang
Phenomenal event and solid proof of music's power to make you forget all your troubles, if.only for a brief moment that lasts an entire lifetime.
I was in South Korea when this performance was broadcasted live. It was nothing short of amazing seeing everyone, literally everyone, drop what they were doing so they could watch and listen. For the roughly ten minutes this was heard the idea of North vs South Korea was put on hold.
Every single brick made a perfect wall. The contribution of each musician has made this beautiful piece of music. May God United us all.
Un honor este primer like.
A música é a melhor coisa que existe !!!
OMG at
Soy Él unico qué llora al escucharlo?
