What happened when New York Philharmonic musicians had a special performance in North Korea was nothing short of amazing.
NEW YORK -- In 2008, Michelle Kim and other members of the New York Philharmonic gave an unprecedented performance in North Korea. Michelle's own father had fled from North Korea at the end of the Korean war, making the performance all the more emotional for her. So emotional that she began to cry on stage mid-performance.
In the middle of Michelle's performance in North Korea, she felt the overwhelming presence of 'Han' come over her. On live television, tears began leaking down her face."All of a sudden the war, the people, and their history all came together. And I thought, 'this is what Han is'." Governor Choi Moon-Soon believes that performances, like Michelle's in 2008, are an important part of their efforts to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula."This music is so powerful. More powerful than any diplomatic effort."
