The Power of Music

The New York Philharmonic played a historic concert in Pyongyang, North Korea, on February 26. It was the first time a major cultural group from the U.S. had performed in North Korea. The two countries do not get along. The U.S. and other nations want North Korea to end its illegal program to create deadly weapons.
