What World Dignitaries Say About Shen Yun

December 13, 2024

Shen Yun Performing Arts Company will be kicking off its 2025 global tour on Dec. 23. Over the past 19 years, the performances have garnered worldwide acclaim, with dignitaries across the globe expressing appreciation for the show’s profound artistry and emotional resonance.

“Wow, Shen Yun is a perfect blend of music, dance, and audiovisual effects, a fusion of tradition and modern technology,” said former Spanish Vice Prime Minister Alfonso Guerra González. “It’s truly amazing how the performers can effortlessly switch from real life to a virtual world on the backdrop. It’s very well done.”

Marrone Maurizio, a member of the regional Parliament of Piedmont, Italy, said: “It was an extraordinary performance, and the artistic quality was just as remarkable—truly a top-tier show. The audience in Turin expressed their heartfelt admiration for Shen Yun with enthusiastic and sustained applause.”

In California, Claremont Mayor Sal Medina said: “I just enjoy the pageantry, the color, the movements. It was exciting. Actually, what I enjoyed the most was the storytelling without words, being able to really identify the story as it makes its way through.”

Through breathtaking dance and music, Shen Yun’s artists bring to life stories of ancient wisdom and timeless virtues. Each performance is a celebration of China’s rich cultural heritage before communist rule.

“This was a truly moving performance, not only highlighting spiritual identity and tradition but also embodying the spirit of freedom,” Maurizio said. “These are values we deeply believe in, and to see them converge in such a touching performance is especially gratifying.”

Soren Espersen, a member of the Danish Parliament, said, “Of course it also gives a unique chance to see and experience Chinese culture in all its variety and fantastic ways.”

Member of the European Parliament Michael Gahler said, “The performance gives the impression that these practitioners want to contribute to the society they live in, following the principles of compassion, tolerance, and truthfulness, making the world a better place.”

The show’s stunning elegance and uplifting energy touch the soul of every viewer.

“That’s what I love about it, that you can see it in the colors, you can see it in how they work together, you can see in their big smiles, you can see how the whole community works very tight together. It’s a very strong, tight team,” said Charles G. Hanna, a philanthropist, entrepreneur, and author. “Thank you for the beautiful performance and the belief.”

Harry Rilling, mayor of Norwalk, Connecticut, said: “They’ve done a wonderful job. I look at them, I’m just in awe. I’m amazed at how well they perform. They really look like they’re enjoying themselves.”

Member of the Danish Parliament Charlotte Broman Molbaek said:”I recommend everyone to see Shen Yun and experience a rare, unique cultural and artistic event. In fact, Shen Yun also touches the heart and offers profound inspiration.”
