CHICAGO—Owner of Chicago’s oldest family-owned jeweler and estate buyer since 1899, Phyllis Horwitz of H. Horwitz Co., could be counted as one of Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company’s newest fans.
In a performance staged at Chicago’s Civic Opera House on April 17, Ms. Horwitz said the presentation of classical Chinese dance by Shen Yun was “very beautifully done.”
“They are gifted, they are so gifted, and it was understandable what they were trying to display,” she said. “I’m telling all my friends they must not miss this.”
Shen Yun was formed in 2006 in New York by “a talented group of artists with a shared vision of cultural renewal,” according to its website. Their explicit mission is to reawaken the traditional Chinese culture, lost under decades of communist rule.
“The wonderful talent, the wonderful expression they were trying to depict, and the meaning of the feeling of the people. I was very impressed,” Ms. Horwitz mused.
