It is very professional, pure and truthful. The orchestra is wonderful. The combined western and Chinese music is especially pleasing to the ears. The folk music with western flavor feels very gentle.”
“When Comparing this with shows performed by folk music groups and folk dance groups that I have watched in China, the DPA’s performance gives me a different feeling. It gives one a feeling of an abundant righteous atmosphere, which is awe-inspiring integrity.”
Yi Jida, the bronze metal winner in folk musicfrom who is from Taiwan said, “The DPA is so wonderful! It is very moving. Their movements are very complicated but harmonious—it is simply superb. Every program is very attractive.”
“The most touching program is ‘The Risen Lotus Flower.’ It touches me the most because of the vitality exhibited. This is a first-class performance and is very noble. The singers are wonderful and I have learned a lot from them and from their techniques. I feel so happy.”
Rose & Thomas Alloway have watched four DPA shows in Beacon Theater, Radio City, and Atlantic City, and they again came with a neighbor to the New Jersey State Theater.
