thank you the music I have just played
now it’s called spring of my 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 he was
made during the time of Japanese
colonization of the Korean Peninsula
after the world war ii and the following
liberation from Japan Korea was divided
into two separate countries in 1945 the
Korean War a decade later and when it
ended in a ceasefire marked a separation
of demilitarized zone called DMZ seventy
two years later in this year of 2017
North Korea and South Korea still remain
separated by the DMZ like many South
Koreans my grandfather came from North
Korea during the Korean War his mother
had stayed behind and then they never
met again in his lifetime but my
grandfather never forgot her and I
remember he kept a pair of her shoes in
his drawer however only 20 times of the
separate feminine meetings were held
since the Korean War and numbers were
there estimated from 10 millions to only
71 thousand left and nearly 45,000 have
already passed away we
the reunion with their loved ones
there are many reasons that people from
North and South Korea’s are not allowed
to meet besides the division of the
nation because we had to war against
each other so many families were killed
and this hospitality still remained
today and also the Korean War has not
ended yet and every contact should be
regulated and permanent by both
government although there were some
positive results after the summit
meetings of two Koreas and leaders which
we had some exchange programs of travel
and business but they did not last due
to political situations based on my
understanding of my grandfather’s
painful separation and of many other
people in South Korea I decided to seek
opportunities to meet the North Korean
with a skill I had which was music
through music with learning harmony by a
learning to South North Korean relations
the goal is to establish peace in the
Korean Peninsula so people from both
countries travel and lead together until
unification but here’s a question that I
would like to pose before talking about
my project what is peace from a musical
perspective peace is harmony according
to the dictionary it is a state of being
in agreement on Concord when I was in
high school I took the Advanced
Placement chemistry class it was very
difficult and I was struggling and one
day I thought came upon profound insight
regarding the periodic table and asked
my chemistry teacher
to confirm with my brilliant idea I said
is it possible they’re all the chemical
elements in the periodic table can bond
together to make a one single product
and he responded gyeongjong you will go
to the Juliet 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 all
musical versions of the periodic table a
comprise of the sounds of the many
different instruments that come together
to make one harmony and let’s see how
they sound like
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
anyone recognized this video in this
whole building Beethoven’s Symphony
ninth by legendary conductor Leonard
Bernstein it was performed right after
the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989
see how amazing it is with choirs and
the orchestra more than hundred people
they play in harmony with different
instruments with different sounds all in
together well it is actually amazing
that the musicians in an orchestra are
able to communicate to each other in
unison while they’re busy in playing
their own part so let’s analyze how they
do that and see what we can learn from
them remember what I just did just
before I played my violin yes it is
called twinning thank you as some of you
might already knew the four strings of
the violin are ascending in fifth on G D
a D 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 disc
or and the bad performance would be left
so this tuning therefore is essential
for the entire orchestra at any concert
hall performance you would see the
following three steps first the concert
mrs. tan job the second the O voiced
plays a standard pitch of a which is 440
Hertz equals 445 Radian per second third
everyone else in the orchestra turns to
the a
however without listening this tuning
would be impossible I have to listen to
the a very carefully when I turn 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 still North and
South Korean forces stand face to face
in 2015 after many years of attempting
to convince two korean government
including the United Nations command the
choir from north and Orchestra from
South they were planned to meet across
the border line at Panmunjom on the 70th
anniversary of the liberation day
however we were not able to cross the
bridge to get pullman job because there
was a land mine explosion in dmz and my
government had to cancel the concert but
imagine when we are standing across the
board line and you’re not supposed to
talk me and touch the music is the only
ultimate medium of understanding through
which people are forced to listen to
each other regardless of their
nationality in
located backgrounds so now it is not a
dream anymore that I want to see
musicians from North and South Korea
come together and listen to their sounds
in sharing the experience of one
Orchestra at last this is 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 of course we will
have different answers love tons of you
know different answers in regarding
perspectives right universe whatever but
if I give you instrument with some music
we are in harmony it is because
naturally we know for ourselves that we
have to listen to each other to make
harmony thank you very much
