Music that Runs Millennia Deep

Music is such a big part of every Shen Yun performance—from the live orchestra that accompanies each dance to the vocal and instrumental solos on stage. Shen Yun’s orchestra is one of a kind, harmoniously blending the distinct beauty of ancient Chinese instruments with the grandeur of a Western orchestra. The result is a vivid sound with great emotional range—perfect for bringing to life the soul of an ancient civilization.
