Shen Yun Performing Arts was founded in New York state in 2006 with a mission to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture through music and dance. Every year, Shen Yun produces an all-new performance and tours with it around the world. Millions have seen Shen Yun’s performances and audience members were left in awe of the performances.

Shen Yun’s all-original compositions feature a perfect harmony of classical music from the East and West. The 2019 Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra performance features Shen Yun’s most celebrated original compositions along with timeless orchestral classics by Tchaikovsky, Smetana, and Gounod.

The 2019 Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra Concert toured in five major cities in North America—Toronto, New York, Washington, Chicago, and Boston—in October 2019. Audience members praised the artistic accomplishments of Shen Yun’s musicians.

“The music they’ve created is such an excellent combination of traditional melodies,” said Dr. Richard Webb, organist, musicologist, and professor of Southern University.

“Delightful,” said Per Brevig, conductor and professor of The Juilliard School. “They blend the Chinese instruments so very well with the Western instruments.”

“Really wonderful! I’d be interested in playing some of this music or trying some of it myself,” said Charles Castleman, virtuoso violinist and professor of Eastman School of Music.
