Maestro Chung Myung-whun says the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra will have a joint concert with North Korea's top orchestra members by the year's end… both in Seoul and Pyeongyang.
At a press conference on Friday in Seoul‚ Chung and the CEO of the prominent orchestra revealed what they did while in North Korea and what they aspire to do in months ahead.
Maestro Chung said it was his life-long dream to visit the North and that the trip was purely driven by his desire to meet with North Korean musicians‚ and help discover young musical talents there.
In Pyeongyang‚ Chung was introduced to the country's two orchestras.
He had the opportunity to conduct the musicians‚ playing Beethoven's 9th Symphony as well as pieces from Tchaikovsky and Brahms.
It was a first-time experience for the orchestrasas classical music repertoires are rare in the North.
Chung said the musicians there boasted a high level of musical proficiency and talents‚ and expressed his desire to introduce them to his own orchestra members in Seoul.

Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra ] "When the music started‚ we immediately forgot about all other matters‚ including political issues. The members of the orchestras and I communicated through music. And I felt assured that we must play music together."
And he enthusiastically talked about his plans for holding a joint South and North Korea concert in December‚ this year.
[Interview : Chung Myung-whun‚ Music Director
Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra ] "I'd like for South and North Korean orchestras to perform Beethoven's 9th Symphony together this December and donate concert proceeds to help the needy in the North. Although my previous efforts to do that failed because of politics‚ I feel that it is highly possible this time around."
Chung said North Korean officials agreed to hold such joint concerts and that he had not encountered any opposition from the South either.
Prospects of a joint concert by the year's end appear to be opening a new chapter in inter-Korean relations.
