Iraq has an orchestra?

Yes, and the story of how they managed to stay together (without any pay at all) practicing in secret is truely a wonderful story.

I understand why they were kept away from the press, who knows who here in the US is a Saddamite spy.

I'm curious as to why you'd think they wouldn't. You do know they have computer programers, neurosurgeons and nuclear scientists too. I assume you mean why tour here, now and why all hush, hush?
