After sold-out performances at the Kennedy Center in February, 2009, and successful showings in August 2009 and January 2010,  Shen Yun Performing Arts returns to Washington DC in August to present the most celebrated programs from their global tours of the past four years.

Emmy and Academy Award winner Robert Stromberg, the production designer for Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, was one of the celebrities who watched the SHEN YUN show in Los Angeles last May.

“It’s absolutely beautiful…It was so inspiring, I think I may have found some new ideas for the next Avatar.”

“It was a very unique performance. It was tremendous to see the wide range of different types of performance art come together as one. It’s really beautiful to see that as one single performance,” he said.

As a highly accomplished visual artist, Mr. Stromberg praised “the color, the lights, and the movement.” “The performers were fantastic! I thought it was wonderful,” he added.

A program featuring traditional Chinese culture as it was meant to be–a brilliant blend of beauty, energy, and grace. Dozens of dancers in dazzling costumes move in seamless, flowing patterns; A Live Orchestra and performers whose thunderous drums shake the stage while spectacular backdrops transport you to another world.  See ancient legends of virtue brought to life alongside modern tales of courage.  Hear soaring songs by masterful vocalists that will move and inspire.  Experience a sense of beauty and enchantment like no other with this unique, thrilling, and unforgettable show.

Shen Yun Performing Arts is built upon a vision of rediscovering, and founding anew, humanity’s true cultural heritage. It performs works that center upon the divinely-inspired, cultural heritage of humankind and demands of itself that its performances present works of consummate beauty and goodness. Shen Yun Performing Arts is a unique group of leading artists who share in a vision of cultural renewal. The company is a triumph of collaboration, bringing together over a hundred of the world’s foremost classically trained Chinese dancers, choreographers, musicians, and vocalists. It also boasts the world’s only full orchestra that embraces both Western and Chinese instruments as its permanent members.

The company aspires to create original performances that not only entertain, but also more deeply educate, enrich, and inspire. The company’s rich repertory is drawn from the pages of history, universal themes, and the world around us. All choreography, costume and music performed are original.
