The audience stands for the National Anthems of North Korea and the United States at the start of a concert by the New York Philharmonic in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008. The orchestra performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" for North Korea's communist elite — a feat of musical diplomacy aimed at improving ties with the isolated nuclear-armed country that considers the U.S. its mortal enemy.
