Philharmonic plays US anthem in N. Korea - Yahoo! News: "PYONGYANG, North Korea - The New York Philharmonic performed 'The Star-Spangled Banner' for North Korea's communist elite Tuesday — a feat of musical diplomacy aimed at improving ties with the isolated nuclear-armed country that considers the U.S. its mortal enemy.

The Philharmonic is the first major American cultural group to perform in the country and the largest delegation from the United States to visit its longtime foe.

The unprecedented concert represents a warming in relations between the nations that remain technically at war and locked in negotiations over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programs."
