Shen Yun Reviews: "I'm coming back! I will follow this orchestra!"

“You just feel like you are transported”, said Hollywood producer Michele Berk who attended Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra’s performance at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Friday evening.

“I’ve produced a lot of independent movies and I try to have a global sense of what’s going on and I truly believe that music is the dialogue. Music is culture. Music is peace. Music promotes dialogue between all nations and I’m so impressed with the program tonight,” said Ms. Berk.

"I especially liked the Chinese compositions. I think the music of China has such a haunting melody. It just seduces you."

In addition to original pieces composed for Shen Yun’s shows, the orchestra also performed a few works from the Western classical repertoire.

“[Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra] had Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and … had these wonderful Chinese compositions and different conductors and also having the opera singers mixed in and I think the blend was so perfect,” said Ms. Berk.

“I think there was something for everyone. I think everyone’s voice was heard,” she said.

“I’m coming back! I will follow this orchestra!” she said. “I will follow this wonderful creation.”
