NY Philharmonic Plays In North Korea

I'm a big believer when it comes to the arts breaking down barriers. Heck, I'm a big believer in the arts doing lots of things. Here's hoping this is the beginning of something. The NY Philharmonic recently journeyed to North Korea to play a concert. The program highlighted American music. This isn't the first time this has happened, and as someone who journeyed to the (at the time) closed city of Omsk to do American Musical Theatre, I'm happy to see it occur.

It sure beats all of that silly diplomatic posturing.
