CANBERRA, Australia—Shen Yun Performing Arts' third show at Canberra Theatre on March 30, had John Sledge, a “techno-punk heavy metal” musician, in the audience.

He had accompanied his mother, father, and their grandson to see the presentation of China's ancient traditions portrayed in dance and music.

“I loved the music, I loved it. It was tops,” Mr. Sledge said.

Mr. Sledge has been interested in music for decades, and said that he grew up listening to “all sorts of music,” and that “music is my life.”

He said the Shen Yun music was creative and very artistic.

His father also said the music was extremely good.

He enjoyed all facets of the show: “The colors were fantastic, the movement was synchronized to the point of perfection. Very good.”

Everywhere Shen Yun has appeared, audiences have been presented with the world of the 5,000-year Chinese culture.

Music arrangements, accompanying the dances, are original compositions with a harmonizing blend of Western and Eastern instruments.
