DAEGU, South Korea-Ms. Han Sori, director of Woori Sori Research Center, watched the performance of Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company on Feb. 26 at the Daegu Suseong Artpia. She was amazed by the grandeur of the performance. “I have lived more than half of my life, and great to finally see such a very special show,” she said. The Woori Sori Research Center is a teaching center of Korean folk music, such as Samulnori and Gyeonggi minyo.
A friend of Ms. Han’s introduced her to Shen Yun. “My friend told me that the show presented the Chinese history in such a magnificent and majestic way and that it is like no other show,” she said.
New York-based Shen Yun’s performances bring to life 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture through classical Chinese dance, and ethnic and folk dances, solo vocalists, a stunning digital backdrop, and an orchestra that combines classical Western and traditional Chinese instruments.
Ms. Han said she loved the colorful performance. “The performance is very special and has great variety. Included are solo vocalists and solo performances of musical instruments. It’s a great program.”
Being a specialist of music, Ms. Han adored the Shen Yun Orchestra. “The live music is a lot more lively than recorded music,” she said.
Ms. Han said she would come and see the show next year, and at the same time, highly recommend it to her friends. “I will tell people that this show is the only one of its kind and the most special.”
