NEW YORK—“I am very moved and very touched,” said singer Mr. Byron after watching the Shen Yun Performing Arts show at the Radio City Music Hall on the afternoon of Feb. 14, the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year.
This was the second year in a row that Mr. Byron watched the Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company’s performance.
“It’s still a great way to get an entertaining look and an enlightening look at just Chinese traditions,” he said. Mr. Byron believes that Shen Yun is special because all ages and all cultures can appreciate it.
The New York-based performing arts company uses classical Chinese dance as its medium of expression, with the dancers moving in synchronization with an orchestra that uses Western and Chinese instruments.
“If you are familiar with what is going on in China, or you’re not, you’ll learn about it. It’s eye-opening,” he said.
Dr. Lim, a woman of Chinese ethnicity, used to be involved in Chinese folklore dancing as a child. She was very impressed by the classical Chinese dance presented in the Shen Yun show.
“It’s a lot of practice that goes into it,” she said. “It’s beautiful, I enjoy it.”
Shen Yun’s companies have toured around the world in over one hundred cities in five continents and has been watched by over one million people.
