New York Philharmonic's historical concert in North Korea (yes, you read that right)
This is an eye-opening article on the recent concert in North Korea by the NYP, led by Lorin Maazel (one of Leonard Bernstein's symphonic "grandsons", if you will). No, Kimmy-boy wasn't there, but his entrouage was. Pay attention to the descriptions of what journalists faced in Jong-Il-land covering this story. Video is provided, so don't miss this!
