ROCHESTER, New York—Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company concluded its run at the Rochester Auditorium Theatre with one last performance on Sunday, Feb. 28.
After watching the performance, Mr. Rollie Adams, president and CEO of the Strong National Museum of Play, said the show is very enjoyable.
"It's a wonderful show; it demonstrates cultural exchange and the wonderful arts of China."
The Strong National Museum of Play displays the history of play in the U.S. The museum features many exciting and unique exhibits and caters to people of all ages.
Mr. Adams said that watching the Shen Yun show created a feeling of "joy and happiness" as well as "satisfaction" and "relaxation" in him.
He was also impressed by the skills and "expressiveness" of the dancers, and praised the musicians' "great musical talent."
The Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Orchestra starts with classical Western instruments at its foundation and augments it by classical Chinese instruments, and plays all original scores to convey the feelings and inner meanings of the dancers' performance on the stage.
Watching the show, Mr. Adams said he received a message of "joy, sharing, [and] caring."
The dance Nothing Can Block the Divine Path, set in contemporary China, was particularly moving for Mr. Adams.
This scene shows the persecution of a family in China by the hands of the Communist regime for practicing the peaceful spiritual practice Falun Gong.
"[It] was just quite touching," he said.
