or 5,000 years in china, culture was heralded as a divine gift. Its glory was long the Finspiration of countless artists and poets, until this heritage was nearly lost ... Today, New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts brings this gift to you. It takes the audience out of the clamor of the modern world and enriches lives in powerful, lasting ways.

Let Shen Yun take you on a journey where the wisdom of ancient China, the world’s finest classical Chinese dancers, heavenly music of all-original orchestral compositions, gorgeous handcrafted costumes and striking animated backdrops come together in one spectacular performance. Enter a world of heavenly wonder, imperial drama, heroic legends, and a world where the good and the righteous always prevail, and where beauty and purity have never been lost ... Shen Yun— A global sensation

ILLIONS OF PEOPLE have seen Shen Yun. Standing Movations at the world’s top venues, royalty attending in Europe, sold-out shows throughout North America, and packed houses across Asia have made Shen Yun an international phe- nomenon.

Experience the extraordinary

“Brilliant choreography, “Demonstrating the highest realm in Arts. extravagantly beautiful.” Shen Yun inspires the Performing Arts circle.” —Broadway World — Chi Cao, principal dancer, Birmingham Royal Ballet Lead actor, “Mao’s Last Dancer” Shen Yun’s Chinese Dance SOFT AND GRACEFUL, POWERFUL AND VIGOROUS, SOMBER AND STIRRING, PLAYFUL AND HUMOROUS n art form several millennia old, Chinese Adance is refreshingly dynamic and expressive. Ancient leg- ends and heroic figures come to life through its leaps, spins, and delicate gestures. Perhaps it is the quiet gentleness of the heav- enly maidens that reminds us of a better time and a better world. Per- haps it is the conviction of warriors dashing across the plains that tells us that good always defeats evil in the end. Or perhaps it is the timeless stories of courage and compassion, kindness and kinship. Whatever it is, Shen Yun has touched the hearts of millions.

“It was an extraordinary experience for us and the children. Not only the level of skill, but also the power of the archetypes and the narratives were startling. And of course it was exquisitely beautiful.” — Cate Blanchett, Academy Award winning actress The Shen Yun Orchestra TWO GREAT CLASSICAL MUSIC TRADITIONS— ONE GLORIOUS SOUND

From the moment the gong is struck to herald the performance, you know you are in for something musically memorable. The distinctly Chinese sounds of ancient instruments such as the soul-stirring erhu and the delicate pipa lead the melody while bathed in a rich sea of Western strings, percussion, woodwinds, and brass, producing one fresh, mesmerising sound. AWARD-WINNING VOCAL SOLOISTS The resounding songs of bel canto soloists give voice to themes that have shaped Chinese culture for centuries. The lyrics transcend the boundaries of nation and culture, and have been fondly received the world over.

“Beautiful sound... strikingly intricate melodies.” — NYTheater.com Animated Backdrops Majestic heavenly palaces, sprawling Mongolian grasslands, cascading clouds... The animated images, 50 feet wide and 40 feet high, projected be- hind the dancers lift the stage and transport the audience to another world. The breathtaking Shen Yun animated backdrops are designed to match the costumes, storylines, lighting, choreography, and create a WOW effect whenever the curtain opens.

“Absolutely beautiful... It has become this one big poetic event. It was so inspiring, I think I may have found some new ideas for the next Avatar.” — Robert Stromberg, production designer for Avatar Authentic Chinese - Made in America Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts was founded with the mission to restore 5,000 years of divinely inspired Chinese culture, which has been mostly destroyed in China under communist rule. In fact, a show like Shen Yun can no longer be found in China today.
