“Oh, the orchestra is beautiful,” said Mr. Heney. “It’s wonderful. I love watching an orchestra when all the musicians are playing together in synchronization. It’s just absolutely gorgeous to watch.”

“This is one of the most fantastic performances of ability and artistic interpretation I have ever seen. I love it.”

Mr. Heney, however, was impressed by more than just the unique combination of instruments.

“It’s not only the blend of the instruments,” he said. “It’s the blend of the musicology itself. It’s stunning, actually. I was expecting something a little bit more conventional-Western, but this is beautiful. The melding between the music and the dance and the choreography and the costumes are absolutely gorgeous. It just makes an overall experience that is extremely satisfying. It’s all I can say. It’s really satisfying.”

Mr. Heney was able to pick up many aspects of the music, all of which he enjoyed. “There’s a lot of dynamic range in there. There’s a lot of thematic variations I enjoy. The music itself is very pleasing to listen to, which is very nice in this day and age of music that is hard to listen to, but this is lovely.”

Mr. Heney also described the performance as inspirational and uplifting.

“Go see it,” he said. “You’ve got to see it. Absolutely. This is worth anything it takes to go see it. It really is.”
