An orchestra from North Korea will play a concert with the Radio
France Philharmonic Orchestra in Paris on 14 March, reports
AFP. Seventy musicians from the Unhasu Orchestra will join 70
players from the French orchestra to play music by Brahms, and
non-classical scores, at the Salle Pleyel.
The concert will be conducted by Myung-Whun Chung, the principal
conductor of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and the music
director of the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra. He has made
efforts to develop cultural ties with North Korea in his role as a
Unicef goodwill ambassador. He had hoped for a joint performance by
musicians from both Koreas, but said that the political climate had
made it impossible.
