FRESNO, Calif.—As a part of its 2023 touring season, the world’s leading
classical Chinese dance and music company Shen Yun Performing Arts will be
returning to Fresno, Calif., for three consecutive performances from Jan. 28 to
Jan. 29, at the William Saroyan Theatre.

Ahead of its arrival, California state officials issued many greetings and
certificates to honor and welcome Shen Yun artists.

Mayor Jerry P. Dyer sent a greeting on behalf of the City of Fresno, expressing
his “pleasure to welcome the participants, instructors, and distinguished guests
to the 2023 Shen Yun Performing Arts event.”

The mayor extended his thanks to Shen Yun artists “for choosing to bring its
classical Chinese dance performance to Fresno.” He added in his letter that “it
is a special honor for Fresno to be host for this exciting performance.”



Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts has been bringing China’s 5,000
years of civilization to life through dance and music since 2006.  Every year,
Shen Yun presents a brand-new set of programs to its audience worldwide.

Sal Quintero, the chairman of Fresno County’s board of supervisors, issued a
proclamation stating that “Shen Yun is a gloriously colorful and exhilarating
performance” that “evokes themes of virtue, compassion, and courage, and with
orchestra blending the music of East and West, leaves audiences feeling uplifted
and inspired.”

The proclamation further praised that “Shen Yun’s success has been remarkable,
with artists and critics alike agreeing the production is among the best in the
world.”

Shen Yun dancers are highly trained in classical Chinese dance. Perfect through
the millenniums, it is one of the world’s most expressive and comprehensive
dance forms. Together with the orchestra—the first in the world to seamlessly
blend Chinese and Western instruments—Shen Yun performers are bringing to the
stage stories from ancient times to the modern day.



Since its establishment, Shen Yun has grown to include eight equally sized
companies that tour the world simultaneously. This year, the artists are
scheduled to perform in 12 cities across the state of California.

In the welcome letter sent by California Senator Alex Padilla, he wished Shen
Yun “the best of luck” in all its performances and thanked them for “sharing
traditional Chinese arts and bringing to light thousands of years of Chinese
cultural heritage.”

The senator expressed that Shen Yun’s “performances throughout the world
preserve and celebrate the culture of ancient China and allow people to
appreciate the arts.”

Decades ago, Chinese people were very spiritual and had a deep belief in the
divine. However, after the Chinese communist takeover, traditional culture went
through a period of mass destruction.



Since its founding, Shen Yun has made it its mission to bring back to the world
the beauty of China before communism.

To commend this effort, Congressman Jim Costa presented Shen Yun with a
Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition on Jan. 28, for their
commitment to “preserving and promoting Chinese Culture through performance.”



On the same day, Senator Anna M. Caballero’s Certificate of Recognition wished
Shen Yun a happy Lunar New Year while applauding the company’s “mission to
revive the essence of historical Chinese civilization by creating a bridge
between the East and West through the universal language of music and dance.”



Last but not least, Dr. Joaquin Arambula of California’s legislature assembly
issued a certificate honoring Shen Yun. In addition to letting the artists know
that their efforts are “appreciated and valued,” he extended his thanks and
congratulations to the company for their “contribution to the arts in Central
Valley and beyond.”
