Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra

German composer and musician, J.S. Bach said "I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music."

The Chinese characters 音樂(yīn yuè) stand for music. 音is the character for sound, while樂refers to music itself as well as the concepts of happiness, pleasure, and enjoyment. The two characters combined literally mean “the sound of happiness.”

The ancient Chinese regarded music as a tool to contact the gods, and music was not only for enjoyment and entertainment but also part of sacred ceremony to reunite humankind with Heaven.

Delight your senses with the mesmerizing music from the heavens. Experience ancient Chinese instruments like the two-stringed erhu, the plucked pipa, and Chinese bells leading a grand Western orchestra through melodies rooted in 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture.
