DAEGU, South Korea—After Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company’s fourth show at the Daegu Suseong Artipia wrapped up on the afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 26, Mr. Jang Young Mok, former president of the Daegu Arts University, and former conductor of an orchestra, praised Shen Yun’s performance. He said: “The conductor synchronized the rhythm of the music, and the movements of dancers on stage was perfect. When looking at it from the perspective of coordination [between the orchestra and the dancers], the performance of the orchestra left nothing to be desired.”
It was Mr. Jang’s first time seeing Shen Yun. He said that the performance was remarkable. “The programs of the show illustrated the contemporary and legendary stories in the 5,000-year Chinese history, along with the music played by the live orchestra. It is indeed wonderful.”
He continued, “The show was composed of dance, vocal solos and the performance of the live orchestra. Though they seem to belong to different artistic forms on the surface, they performed together wonderfully to illustrate various historic stories. In this regard, it is very impressive, and the choreography was also great.”
“In addition, the synchronization of the dynamic backdrops and the performance on the stage was seamless, which gave the audience a kind of magical feeling. I highly acclaim these performers,” he added.
Mr. Jang also mentioned that before serving as president of the Daegu Arts University, he was once the conductor of an orchestra and a dean of the Keimyung University in Daegu. He spoke highly of the Shen Yun Orchestra’s conductor. He said: “From the perspective of arts, the performance of the orchestra was exceptionally good. I felt the conductor did a wonderful job in terms of the coordination between the music and the dances on the stage.”
He said he was deeply impressed by the program that depicted Falun Dafa practitioners’ courage and steadfast faith in their belief. He explained, “In the battle between good and evil, the good eventually overpowers the evil. The program will leave an indelible impression on the audience’s mind.”
