New York Philharmonic in N. Korea
If you haven't seen it, here's a link to the New York Philharmonic's historic performance in Pyongyang, Korea on Tuesday (today).
The complete video and audio will be streamed online at nyphil.org for 60 days, beginning March 4.
Photos: David Guttenfelder, AP. They show the NY Philharmonic conducted by Lorin Maazel, in the East Pyongyang Grand Theater, Pyongyang, North Korea. It kind of reminds me of Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and there don't seem to be too many women in the audience, at least in the front rows.

Post a Comment*Janelle,
Again, the most important thing happening in Classical music today, and not one person in Cincinnati could care enough to comment about it... but post something saying "What do you think the CSO should do about this?" or "What are your thoughts about Music Hall's renovation?" and then everyone comes out of the woodwork. And I bet you just sit there at you desk and watch the circus with a grin on your face.
All I see on this horrible blog (that you pass off as journalism) is the same bunch of people spewing the same nonsense over and over again; like how Erich Kunzel and Neal Gittleman would make great music directors of a major orchestra, or that Music Hall is a perfect place (or that it needs better parking?), or that the CSO should start putting on a circus show to make themselves more appealing.
And people think the DPRK is depressing? Cincinnati is just as culturally isolated and its residents are just as culturally ignorant... and it is because of this that you even have a job.
Also, there were many women in the audience, but adding that dumb (and grammatically poor) comment is just another way to prod the mob and give your position at the Enquirer a bit of relevance, huh?

You should be fired.
What brought this on? You must have had a bad hair day!
haha doesn't that comment just sort give more credibility to the first poster's point?
finally someone with some brains who notices how bad the journalism is in this town.
For goodness sake, I appreciate the point of the first poster and agree with it in to a degree--the local journalism and cultural isolationism---but this is just a blog and that post is getting a little too personal. No?
Wow, Janelle. I guess the crazies come out of the woodwork - especially when they can post anonymous comments on a blog. I am grateful for the writing you do on the local arts scene. This NY Phil performance has been talked about quite a bit, and I am grateful for the attention and focus that you bring to Cincinnati music, as well as writing about national arts activities. Cincinnati residents are not culturally ignorant. I find that they are interested in trying new things and learning more about music and art. They love intimate as well as large-scale arts experiences. Just look at how this community supports the Fine Arts Fund!
Many people may not realize the demands and limitations that are put on you in your position as - what is your title now? You do a wonderful job with limited time and resources, and your love of music and this community shine through. I am grateful to have you as an advocate for the arts in this community!
It's interesting how such a glowing comment for Ms. Gelfand is also posted anonymously, and how this poster would know about any time and resource limitations, and that her job title is in question...
...very interesting.
