Greetings from City of Calgary Ward 3 Alderman Jim Stevenson
It is my distinct pleasure to extend warm greetings and best wishes to the Shen Yun dancers, choreographers, musicians, production and artistic staff. Thank you all for bringing this spectacular performance to the Calgary stage and for providing all of us in attendance the unique opportunity to share in such a rich cultural experience. Inspired by traditional Chinese culture, Shen Yun brings a lost heritage to life through the artistic forms of classical and ethnic Chinese dance and we are all fortunate to be part of this unique experience.
On behalf of the City of Calgary, I welcome the Shen Yun Performing Arts Troup to our City and wish them every success as they continue their tour.
On behalf of the board, management, staff and over 3,500 business members, the Calgary Chamber of Commerce is delighted to once again welcome Shen Yun Performing Arts to our great city.
Shen Yun is an impressive exhibition of talent, that uniquely showcases classical, traditional Chinese dance and music through the fusion of Western and Chinese instruments and approaches. The resulting performance is a reflection of the years of hard work, refinement and dedication of the producers, performers and artists involved. Complete with rich, colourful costumes and drums, Shen Yun is a great spectacle - not to be missed.
As past appearances have shown Calgarians,Shen Yun Performing Arts is an amazing opportunity for Calgarians to embark on a 5,000 year tour of Chinese history,tradition,and culture.It is also a sign of Calgary's growing reputation as a centre of artistic expression, creativity and entrepreneurship, and welcoming host for international events of this calibre.
The Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Shen Yun Performing Arts back to Calgary, and wishes all of its participants the very best for the 2010 tour.
