Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra blends the spirit of Chinese music with the power of a Western orchestra. All-original compositions draw upon five millennia of culture and legends.
Western strings, percussion, woodwinds, and brass accentuate the sound of ancient Chinese instruments—like the two-stringed erhu and the plucked pipa.
Ancient chinese theatre and early european opera shared the same singing technique, believed to produce the most beautiful and pure tone of voice.
Today, however, bel canto’s genuine high-note technique has been lost in Europe.
Only Shen Yun’s singers are now again using this traditional and ancient technique on the modern stage. Their ability to perform bel canto while retaining perfect Chinese diction is unparalleled.
Shen Yun Performing Arts company taking the world by storm now brings you an extraordinary new musical experience.
There is no orchestra like Shen Yun. The music is extremely expressive, and takes you to a journey to ancient times and far-away lands; It's like nothing you've heard before.
