It’s a stunning experience that will leave you amazed and inspired.
Melodies that capture the spirit of ancient China
Music has had mystical powers throughout Chinese history. The Yellow Emperor used it to defeat his greatest enemy. Confucius claimed it could help govern a country. The ancient Chinese believed it even had the power to heal.
Music is a big part of every Shen Yun performance - from the live orchestra that accompanies each dance to the vocal and instrumental solos on stage. Shen Yun’s unique orchestra harmoniously blends the grandeur of a Western orchestra with the distinct beauty of ancient Chinese instruments. The result is a gorgeous and vivid sound with great emotional range - perfect for bringing to life the soul of an ancient civilisation.
Art that nourishes the soul
Art can do more than make us smile. It is a universal language that knows no cultural bounds. It can inspire and uplift us. In ancient China, artists believed that to create true art, they must not only master their craft, but also cultivate goodness and inner purity. Today, Shen Yun’s artists carry on this noble tradition.
Shen Yun takes timeless virtues - ideals like loyalty, humility, compassion - and presents what is beautiful and good in a powerful theatrical experience. You can see this positive energy in the genuine joy with which these artists perform, and feel it long after the curtain falls.
Experience the wonder of China’s divine culture. Experience Shen Yun.
