As Edmonton awaits the arrival of Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company later this week, elected officials from all three levels of government have issued statements welcoming the world-renowned dance company to Alberta’s capital city.
This is the third year that Shen Yun is staging its masterful performance in Edmonton.
The New York-based company presents classical Chinese dance and music through breath-taking performances. The dance company will be visiting about 20 countries on four continents by the end of this season.
On behalf of Edmontonians, City of Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel extended “warm greetings” to Shen Yun and wished the company a successful show.
“Fans of Chinese dance and music are in for a treat, as world-class performers take to the stage,” he said in a statement.
City of Edmonton Councillors Ed Gibbons, Tony Caterina, Amarjeet Sohi, and Kim Krushell likewise welcomed Shen Yun to their city.
Ms. Krushell called the Shen Yun 2009 World Tour “an extraordinary event” and said that “we are privileged to be able to host it in our city.”
“This celebration of classical Chinese dance and music will certainly be a memorable occasion for everyone involved,” she wrote.
