YOU ASKED: Where does Shen Yun’s music come from?       Shen Yun compositions are all-original works drawn from five millennia of culture and legends. Many melodies are inspired by ancient folk and ethnic tunes passed through the dynasties. Each piece is orchestrated with a perfect harmony of classical instruments of the East and West, and then meticulously coordinated with the dance production.

Coming Up:       A full harvest this October—Shen Yun musicians play Carnegie Hall and dancers take on NTD Television’s 7th International Classical Chinese Dance Competition!
