City of Brotherly Love Prepares for Shen Yun
- 14 years ago
Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, will welcome Shen Yun Performing Arts this weekend.
The shows at the Academy of Music on Saturday and Sunday mark the start of the busy season for Shen Yun.
In January, the three touring companies are travelling to 18 cities in the U.S. and Canada, putting on more than 50 shows.
And ticket sales for this weekend’s shows in Philly are going well.
[Dina Wang, Greater Philadelphia Asian Culture Center]:
“The top-end seats are basically sold out. This year, the high-end seats are very much in demand, and many Chinese are buying tickets as a way to celebrate the New Year.”
A number of local community representatives have sent their greetings to the Shen Yun performers, including Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, who said Shen Yun is, quote:
“A study of grace, fluidity, balance and inner strength, the Shen Yun Performing Arts Troupe brings traditional Chinese culture alive on stage with their performance. Celebrating the exceptional precision and grandeur of Chinese dance and music, the show is inspired by the myths, legends, and divine beauty of 5,000 years of Chinese culture.”
Shen Yun’s two other touring companies are performing in Detroit and San Francisco this weekend.
