1 West 2nd Street • Dayton, OH 45402
Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Cente
Shen Yun presents colorful and exhilarating performances of classical Chinese dance and music. A performance by Shen Yun is a presentation of traditional Chinese culture as it once was: a study in grace, wisdom, and the virtues distilled from the five millennia of Chinese civilization. Every year, Shen Yun unveils an entirely new lineup of dances, songs, and musical scores. At the core of Shen Yun's performances is classical Chinese dance with China's numerous ethnic and folk dance styles rounding out the evening. In a collection of short pieces, audiences travel from the Himalayas to tropical lake-filled regions; from the legends of the cultures creation over 5,000 years ago through to the story of Falun Dafa in China today; from the highest heavens down to the dusty plateaus of the Middle Kingdom. Tenors, sopranos and other award-winning vocalists perform piano-accompanied solos, along with a regular favorite the stirring melodies of the two-stringed erhu, also known as the Chinese violin. Shen Yun's one-of-a-kind orchestra, with its all-original compositions, blends East and West like no other. Animated backdrops transport the audience to another world. Projected behind the dancers, the hi-tech images lift the stage and set it amidst blossoming landscapes, deep forests, Mongolian prairies, or celestial paradises. more...
