WHEREAS, We recognizes the importance of the performing arts, which act to inspire, enlighten, and unify people from all cultural backgrounds through the transcendent power of
human expression; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-standing traditions, we are justly proud to commend Shen Yun Performing Arts upon the occasion of presenting its musical at the Lincoln Center on January l0-19, 2074, in New York City; and
WHEREAS, Shen Yun Performing Arts, a nonprofit organization based in New York, is proudly the world's premier classical Chinese dance and music company; the company's members are mainly ethnic Chinese who grew up in the West and their mission is to revive the spirit of traditional Chinese culture; and WHEREAS, Over the past 60 years, under Chinese Communist Party rule and during the Cultural Revolution, much of China's traditional culture has been destroyed; a group of artistic visionaries united in New York in 2006 with the explicit mission of reviving traditional Chinese
culture; and

WHERBAS, Shen Yun Performing Arts's story begins with these talented artists in the Chinese diaspora and a shared vision of cultural renewal; many of these choreographers and composers, dancers and singers had previously joined forces in smaller scale productions; together, they collectively decided to take their vision to the next level; and

WHEREAS, Shen Yun Performing Arts has evolved in just four years from a few
passionate artists to a company that now features three dance ensembles and three orchestras that simultaneously tour the globe; and

WHEREAS, China has a 5,000 year history steeped in rich values and the idea that humanity and the divine are intertwined; "Shen Yun," in context, translates as "the beauty of divine beings dancing"; and WHEREAS, Among the company's artists are members from renowned ensembles and music schools, as well as winners of international singing and dance competitions; and WHEREAS, The accomplished choreographers of Shen Yun Performing Arts aim to
present classical Chinese dance, an art form still new to the West, in its purest and most beautiful

form; and WHEREAS, In 2007, Shen Yun Performing Arts's first season saw a production by one sole company which was comprised of more than 90 artists and included a dance ensemble, a full orchestra, and soloists; three years later, Shen Yun has expanded to four full companies, totaling hundreds of performers; and

RESOLVED, That we pause to commend Shen Yun Performing Arts upon the occasion of presenting its musical at the Lincoln Center on January 10-19, 2014, in New York City; and be it funher RESOLVED, That a copy of this Citation, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to

Dear Shen Yun Performing Arts, Welcome again to New York City. As a member of the NYC Council and as one who sits on the Cultural Affairs Committee, I am pleased to have your unique, classical Chinese dance and music company perform at one of our City's greatest venues, The David H Koch Theatre at Lincoln Center.
Shen Yun's demonskable mastery of movement, music and mind is a marvel to behold.

In reviving the essence of traditional Chinese culture based on the ideals of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance, and by reaching back into the five, rich millennia of Chinese history, its classical legends, and the various ethnic traditions in both music and dance, your company brings universal human themes to an exquisite, artistic level.
Thank you for gracing our City with such a beautiful and inspiring theatrical experienee and offering us a glimpse of the eternal through the arts.
