WICHITA, Kan.—Musician and composer Shawn Garmon was delighted by the Shen Yun Performing Arts concert at Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center on May 14.

“I give it to 25 out of 10!” she said.

“I just felt like the harmonies were rich and deep and lyrical … the conductor was fabulous and the orchestration and instrumentation were quite fabulous.”

“I thought it was incredibly lyrical for two strings,” she said. “I always think stringed instruments tug at your heart … so it moved me.”

“I wasn’t expecting so much music involved in the dance. That was surprising to me. I just thought they did an exceptional job.”

“I enjoyed the base performer—the vocal piece—it was quite lyrical … I thought his voice was rich and lyrical, deep [and] expressive,” she said.

Ms. Garmon was amazed that Shen Yun presents a new performance every year featuring new musical compositions, new choreography, and new costumes.

“It inspired me to want to get back into writing music and performing,” she said.

She also wanted to express her gratitude and admiration for the “fantastic job” done by the artistic director of Shen Yun. “Your compositions, your performers, your screens, your sets [and] digital work were outstanding. And I am glad you’re going all across the world with your show!”
