A Korean-American female violinist seems visiblly moved by emotion for the occasion to be able to play in North Korea before North Korean audience.

Sorry video is not completed in full length due to technical difficulties.

Arirang is Korean folk music representing Korean people's sadness, bitterness, and hope in terms of history, both North and South...

I love the size of this orchestra!

That was a nice gesture. Music really transcends cultural and political barriers.

이말도 맞긴 맞는데... 원래 한국 음악이라는게 '한' 을 담고 하는거이기 때문에, 슬프면서도 희망이 있는

True Arrirang can not be a sad song. 아리랑은 슬픈 곡이 아니다. ! 민족의 기상과 희망을 노래한 곡이다
