Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra in California

Amidst the roaring applause of a standing ovation, Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra brought its seven-city U.S. tour to a close at Davies Hall in San Francisco Tuesday evening.

A. Randy Johnson, a San Francisco-based saxophone player, composer, and arranger trained in Classical and Jazz music, was delighted to listen to Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra on Oct. 22 at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.

Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra has arrived in Southern California, and the locals in the audience at Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, on Oct. 18, were enthralled by the musical experience.

For orchestra conductor Dr. Nové Deypalan, listening to the Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra was an “ethereal experience.”

Jewelry designer Debbie Paletta’s first time experiencing Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra was a memorable one.

“I like very calm music, and it just makes me relax when I listen to it,” said Ms. Dorriz on Friday after seeing the orchestra at the Segerstrom Concert Hall. “I forget everything.”

“I saw people [audience members] dancing and I saw people happy,” said Jacqueline Hanan, a professor of languages and arts, who attended the concert on Friday evening.
