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

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.”
