“I loved it. It was incredible, just incredible. I used to play the violin so I understand the kind of level of professionalism they’re using here, it’s just amazing. Very touched. The whole orchestra is incredible.”

“It puts me in a higher place. Very high place. I saw the [dance performances of Shen Yun Performing Arts] a couple of years ago, and I had the same reaction. The evolution of a culture, five thousand years, the development—and it’s so sad that it’s been lost. I know that [Shen Yun is] trying to bring it back, which is a great thing. We need more of that in this country.”

“It’s very powerful.”

“The erhu, beautiful; it’s beautiful. Very touching, very powerful.”
