SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.—Music composer Timothy Hosman was in for a surprise when he came to watch Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Performing Arts Center in San Luis Obispo.
Shen Yun is on a worldwide mission to bring back the authentic Chinese traditional culture which existed in the pre-communist era. It is delighting its audiences with a repertoire of story-based classical and folk dances and music.
Mr. Hosman had just returned from China where he had completed an important project.
“I’ve been so impressed with the orchestra. It sounds fantastic. And they have … the erhu and the pipa and all the different [traditional] instruments that I’m really familiar with, and they’re so in tune,” said Mr. Hosman.
