[Shen Yun’s live symphony orchestra], “I really enjoy it. I enjoy listening to different music I haven’t heard before, and I liked the sounds of the Chinese instruments combined with the orchestral instruments.”

“It [the music] is very emotional and it brings out the different moods of the dances. ... It helps me connect to what is going on, on stage.”

“It is wonderful that they are doing that [revitalizing traditional Chinese culture through dance and music]. I’ve been seeing their advertisements for several years, and I’m just glad that we are able to see this performance. This is our first time.”
