Japan in Crisis

I am not here to post about the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Instead I wanted to make mention of the fact that while this nation was trying to pull all of its assets together to solve the problems with the disaster a group found courage to leave families and friends at home and travel 5000 miles across the ocean then 3000 miles across our nation to get to Washington D.C. and share their culture with us in tribute to their people. This is an NPR story about the NHK Orchestra's visit to the US. Listen to the pieces of music that the story has within it to hear the feelings of those playing come through their instruments and bleed into the audience.
