“I just love how everything points back to God. The final piece, where they’re being oppressed, and yet at the end when the wicked will flee and then God will save his people, I think that applies and it will happen and does happen. And so I just think it was a beautiful performance, absolutely masterful in its presentation, in its planning, in everything,” said Mr. Siebach, a software engineer and scientist.

“I think we need to remember who we are and the potential for good that we have in the world. And then if we can hold to that, despite whatever philosophies, programs, or oppression come our way ... if everyone could stand united in remembering who we are ... it wouldn’t go forward,” said Mrs. Siebach, a teacher.

“I think it’s excellent. The fact that so many people had to work so long to perfect their craft is indicative of a society of plenty and prosperity,” said Mr. Siebach.

“I think the performances of those artists really celebrate the lives of so many people who have sacrificed for us. And so my heart just went out to so many people who have gone before us, but also to so many who are suffering in the world. That’s a story that I want to share with my kids—with everyone that I come across. It just really is inspiring,” she said.

“The lady with the traditional Chinese stringed instrument with only two strings—just the way she moves, you can tell she’s part of the instrument. It was absolutely beautiful,” said Mr. Siebach.

“The baritone—one of my favorite pieces. The lyrics [said] we are each divine beings. Absolutely amazing,” Mr. Siebach commented.
