WICHITA, Kan.—Musician and composer Shawn Garmon was delighted by the Shen Yun Performing Arts concert at Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center on May 14.
“I give it to 25 out of 10!” she said.
“I just felt like the harmonies were rich and deep and lyrical … the conductor was fabulous and the orchestration and instrumentation were quite fabulous.”
New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company. Along with folk dances and solo performances, the production presents story-based dances that depict the history and traditional culture of China from ancient times to the modern-day. The company’s website says its performance this year demonstrates “China before communism.”
