New York's Philharmonic Orchestra will perform the U.S. national anthem at its historic concert in North Korea on 26 February. The Philharmonic's president says that this concert will show how "music can unite."
Don't freak out, they will be playing other music too. The N. Korean anthem and Gershwin's "American in Paris" are also on the program.
Is it kinda weird to make this historic journey to play this monumental concert, and your program consists of the U.S. national anthem? Shouldn't the NY Philharmonic branch out a bit, show the world we aren't "U.S.centric?"
