and we I %HESITATION I %HESITATION I %HESITATION moon I %HESITATION I %HESITATION I %HESITATION Lou mmhm I %HESITATION no the music I have just played now it's called spring though by hometown it is probably the most popular children's song in South Korea the song is also well known across many generation in South Korea because it has a particular historical significance in Korea it was may doing
that high more Japanese colonization of the Korean peninsula after the war was second and the following liberation from Japan Korea was divided into two separate countries in nineteen forty five the Korean War a decade later and when it ended in a cease fire marked a separation all vote demilitarized zone called DMCA seventy two years later in this era of a two thousand seventeen North Korea and
South Korea still remain separated by the DNC like many south Koreans my grandfather came from North Korea during the Korean law his mother had stayed behind and then they never met again in his lifetime but my grandfather never forgot her and I remember he cap a pair of shoes in his stroller however we'll need twenty times of the separate family meetings were held since the Korean
War and numbers of what their estimate it from ten millions to only seventy one thousand left and nearly forty five thousand have already passed away without the reunion with their loved ones there are many reasons that people from north to south Korea's are not allowed to be it besides the division of the nation because we had a war against each other so many families were killed
and these hospitality still remain today and also the Korean War has ended the at and every contact should be regulated in permitted by both governments although there were some positive results after the summit meetings of the two Koreas and leaders which we had some exchange programs of the travel and business but they do not lost due to political situations based on my understanding of my grandfather's
painful separation and over many other people in South Korea I decide to seek opportunities to meet the North Korea with the skill I had which was music through music with learning harmony by a learning the soft snores couldn't relations the goal is to establish peace in the cream peninsula so people from both countries travel and meet together until unification here's a question that I would like
to post before talking about my project what this piece from a musical perspective P. C.'s harmony according to the dictionary it is a state that were being in agreement on Concord when I was in high school I took DHEA advanced a placement chemistry class it was very difficult and I was struggling and one day I thought came up with a profound insight regarding the periodic table
and asked my chemistry teacher to confirm with my brilliant idea I said is it possible that old the chemical elements in the periodic table can bond together to make a one single product and he responded children you will go to the junior school so why are you in this class well of course it was a silly question and the answer is negative but I found later
that orchestras are old musical versions of the periodic table it comprises of the sounds of the many different instruments that come together to make one harmony and let's see how they sound like we didn't symphony nine by legendary conductor then after Bernstein it was performed right after the collapse of the bed and wall in nineteen eighty nine see how amazing it is with hires and the
orchestra more than hundred people they play in harmony with different instruments with different songs all in together well it is actually amazing that the magicians in orchestra able to communicate to each other in unison while they're busy to play their own parts so lets analyze how they do that and see what we can learn from that remember what I just did just before I played my
violin yes it is called tuning thank you as some of you might already knew the four strings of the violin are ascending in favor on G. T. A. T. and all four of them must be in harmony before you do anything else otherwise no matter how beautifully and emotionally you play you will only discord and the bad performance would be left this tuning therefore is E.
censure for the entire orchestra at any concert hall Performa's you would see the following three steps first the concert was a standup the second day or voiced plays so standard pitch up with a which is four hundred forty hearts equals four hundred forty fibration per second third everyone else in the orchestra tunes to the a however without listening this tuning would be impossible I have to
listen to it a very carefully when I tune just like everyone else in the orchestra I also need to listen as I play to make sure that I keep the rhythm and the dynamics as everyone else this process is essential to harmony I believe we can apply this same process of listening and tuning to the Korean peninsula which is so complicated in this court and we
should approach it in a new way which we've never attempted before and one of the ways in establishing peace is to make a concert at the joint security area at Panmunjom where the armistice agreement was signed and steel Norse and south Korean forces stand face to face in two thousand people kin after many years of attempting to convince two Korean governments including the United Nations command
the hires from North and the orchestra from self they were planned to meet across the borderline at Panmunjom on the seventy fifth anniversary of the liberation day however we were not able to cross the bridge to get permanent John because there was a land mine explosion in the MC and my government had to cancel the closer but imagine when we are standing across the border line
and you're not supposed to talk meat and touch the music is the only ultimate medium of understanding through which people are forced to listen to each other regardless of what their nationality inculcated backgrounds so now it is not too many more that I want to see musicians from north and South Korea comp together and listen to their songs in sharing the experience of one orchestra L.
lost my conclusion what if I give you some topics to all of you here for example lunch what are we going to have a lunch course with a different answers love tons of you know different answers in regarding perspective by universe whatever but if I give you instruments with some music we are in harmony it is because naturally we know for our self that we have
