In summer 2007 the New York Philharmonic received an invitation that was unprecedented in the orchestra's history. North Korea, the world's most isolated and secluded country and technically at war with the United States, invited the orchestra to play in the capital of Pyongyang.

They were about to experience a historic moment, the first-ever performance by an American orchestra in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
