The Korean Red Cross has launched a youth orchestra of defectors
from North Korea, reports the Korea Joongang Daily.
The Hope Windmill Orchestra comprises 76 musicians aged between 11
and 21. They will receive two-hour lessons every week and will be
mentored by professional orchestral musicians.
The youth orchestra project has been modelled on Venezuela's El
Sistema music education programme.
SeAH Steel Corporation sponsored the orchestra with $87,000 worth
of instruments, including violins, cellos and double basses.
