New York Philharmonic Performs in North Korea
Shared musical values evoke warmth, friendship
February 26, 2008
Washington -- The music was Gershwin, Dvorak and Wagner; the national anthems were North Korean and American; and the theme was shared musical values. The orchestra combined Korean folk songs with some of the best-known classical music into a mixture of cultural blends that evoked warmth and friendship even among strangers.
When it was over, the New York Philharmonic received a five-minute standing ovation from a cheering audience in the East Pyongyang Grand Theater, in North Korea, according to news reports. Members of the audience and orchestra alike did not want it to end.
Philharmonic music director Lorin Maazel said to reporters after the concert that the experience brought a "whole new dimension from what we expected. We just went out and did our thing and we began to feel this warmth coming back."
Maazel and the orchestra opened the performance by playing the North Korean national anthem, the "Patriotic Song," followed by the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." The audience stood quietly for both anthems and burst into applause at the end.
The orchestra moved into Richard Wagner's "Prelude to Act III" of his romantic opera Lohengrin, and then into Antonin Dvorak's New World symphony, which had been commissioned and premiered by the New York Philharmonic in 1893.
Maazel moved next to American composer George Gershwin's "An American in Paris."
But at a critical moment, the orchestra offered the lilting notes of "Arirang," a Korean folk song, to set the stage for the musical bonding between musician and listener.
"We thought there may be a mission accomplished here, and we may have been instrumental in opening a little door. The groundwork has been laid. There's no question about it. If it does come to be seen in retrospect as a historical moment, we will all be very proud," Maazel said.
It was not the first time the New York Philharmonic has gone into a communist nation to perform; the orchestra played to Soviet audiences in 1959 at a time when cultural diplomacy was an effective adjunct to traditional diplomacy. The Boston Symphony also performed in the Soviet Union in 1956, and the Philadelphia Orchestra performed in China in 1973.
The Pyongyang performance, the first for an American orchestra in North Korea, was broadcast internationally and carried live on state-run television and radio February 26 to an estimated audience of 200 million.
