My final Pyongyang post for the TONY Blog is up now, as is my second post for Symphony magazine and its related photos. There's still one more Symphony post on the way, with its own set of images.
As for unfinished business, I've got more thoughts to process, more photos to share and a comprehensive article on the entire experience coming in a future issue of Symphony. But for now, time to sleep: I've got a day and a half to prowl Seoul, and I don't want to waste a minute of it.
What an amazing trip! And if I wasn't jealous enough that you were on this awesome adventure, you had to rub it in writing about the street food in Seoul. Damn.

So, Steve, what's the prog scene like in the two Koreas? :-D
What an amazing thing to have taken part in. I'm very disappointed that the local PBS station, KCET, isn't showing the concert until March, due to receiving notice of it after their schedule had been set. As the station rep said, people get *very* upset (= don't contribute) when a program they watch gets canceled so that something else can be shown and they didn't want to risk that ire.

While the New York Phil were living it up in Pyongyang, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra were having difficulty finding somewhere to get breakfast in Enschede in their recent tour of Holland! Read violinist David Chadwick's blog here:
