NEW YORK—New Yorkers, famous for their appreciation of the arts, stepped out in full force on a wet spring day for the Sunday matinee performance of Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Lincoln Center, April 22.
Business owner, Erica Martell, came with her family. “We really enjoyed it,” she said. “It’s very impressive.”
Ms. Martell commented on the variety of arts within the Shen Yun production, noting the sheer scale of the performance.
“There were so many performers—it was wonderful. It had a good range of dance, music,” she said. “I really enjoyed the interaction....the dancers coming out of the screen was really exciting.”
Shen Yun is dedicated to restoring traditional Chinese culture through the performing arts. A Shen Yun performance will present “sophisticated dance techniques, an orchestra joining instruments East and West, beautiful costumes, and a stunning back drop,” the company’s website says.
