Reviews

The Pyongyang Concert 2008 (Sep 10, 2008)
Reviewer:The Korea Times
"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), 2008
