MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Shen Performing Arts New York Company’s colorful and exhilarating show thrilled the audience on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 26, at the Orpheum Theatre.
Carol White, an oil paint artist, and her husband, Tom, were among the enthusiastic crowd.
“I think it was a splendid show, the music, and I loved all of those programs,” she said. “I'm very interested in knowing more about it. It's a beautiful show and the colors, the tone, the music.”
Mr. White said the New York-based show was “fabulous. The scenery in the background was absolutely amazing.”
“It’s perfect, it’s beautiful,” his wife said.
'A very good show'
“I thought it was a very good show,” said Mr. Maddox who was a financial controller for several companies before retiring.
No stranger to Asia, as part of his work he has been to the Xuhai region in China, and used to fly into Hong Kong.
Ms. Foy went to Beijing with friends who were adopting and bringing back a young Chinese girl from Luyang. She was in awe of the performance.
“It was wonderful … She [the friend's daughter] takes dance, six years of dance; we thought maybe she would really enjoy it.”
Shen Yun’s story begins with a talented group of artists in the Chinese diaspora and a shared vision of cultural renewal. They wanted to take their vision to the next level. In New York in 2006, they united with the mission of reviving traditional Chinese culture.
Today, the New York-based Shen Yun is one of three companies touring simultaneously around the world, each featuring a full orchestral ensemble, soloist musicians, and vocalists.
