I had an essay published by The Atlantic on the subject of a classical music concert in Paris, specifically, the North Korean Unahsu Orchestra at the Salle Pleyel on March 14 and its background and artistic-diplomatic meaning.
Oh what the heck, let’s do this in modified Chicago style and then get to the events:

Upcoming Performances and Presentations
We didn’t get the gig to entertain the US-DRPK meetings convened by the Aspen Group in Berlin, but we are working as earnestly as we know how to catch the next round, as Track II is where we dwell.

Adam. As long as you don’t get drafted into “Nixon” the opera or was it a musical?
I keep saying it, but am completely ignored. Nixon and Kissinger were/are Class A genocidial war criminals who should be in the dock in The Hague.
Thanks for the comment, KT! I would love to pick Kissinger’s brain about the whole “soft/smart power” business that seems so prevelant today in State Dept. parlance.
