Shen Yun Review: Dr. Richard Webb, professor and dean Emeritus of the College of Arts and Humanities, Southern University

“The music they've created is such an excellent combination of traditional melodies - I am musicologist as well - so the various scale formations and melodic fragments from the historical periods, they've incorporated with western harmonies. So they have a way for the two spheres of instruments to balance against each other. That I was particularly taken by... As a pianist, I have accompanied many many singers and your singers were absolutely spectacular. I just spontaneously shouted "Bravo!" a couple of times. Because I love opera and they would grace the MET stage anytime. Wonderful voices. And your erhu virtuoso, she is magnificent. To think that small delicate instrument just like the vocal cords. She plays from her soul.”
