KANSAS CITY—Be its championship sports or world renown performing arts, Kansas City is the place to be this weekend of March Madness. Specifically, The Big 12 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship tournaments and Shen Yun Performing Arts will be in town.
Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company, based in New York, which will be performing at the Music Hall, Saturday at 7:00 p.m., and Sunday at 2:00 p.m., Mar. 13–14.
The Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship will be playing at Sprint Center and Municipal Auditorium at 4:00 p.m., Mar. 13 and the Women’s Championship at 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., Mar. 14.
Kansas City is a perfect location for hosting the Big 12 tournaments since it is centrally located in the Midwest region and Shen Yun due to its appreciation of beauty. Kansas City is known as the city of fountains.
Beauty and attention to fine details are predominate aspects of Shen Yun. “The company seeks to breathe new life into traditional Chinese culture while providing audiences everywhere with an experience of sublime beauty,” according to the Shen Yun Website. It does this through colorful costumes and backdrops, original orchestra numbers with Western and Chinese instruments, and outstanding vocalists.
Six mayors from the Kansas City metropolitan area, Riverside, Belton, Leawood, Gladstone, Merriam and Olathe, proudly issued proclamations or letters of greetings to welcome Shen Yun Performing Arts to Kansas City.
Mayor Michael Copeland, City of Olathe stated in a letter that he was honored to congratulate the New Culture Center in the Midwest for bringing the 2010 world tour of Shen Yun Performing Arts to the Music Hall.
“The City of Olathe is pleased to join other cities in recognizing the New Culture Center in the Midwest for their efforts to promote cultural understanding and appreciation between the East and West,” Mayor Copeland said. “Our lives are truly enriched through our diversity and opportunities to learn more about other cultures, and we applaud the New Culture Center in the Midwest for inviting us to experience the rich history and wonderful heritage of China.”
Shen Yun performed at Yardley Hall in Kansas City in 2008 under its English name of Divine Performing Arts. With a new program each year, the 2010 World Tour of Shen Yun will cover 400 shows in over 100 cities worldwide.
