         WHEREAS, Shen Yun Performing Arts is launching its 2024 world
  tour at Jones Hall in Houston from December 26, 2023, to January 1,
  2024; and
         WHEREAS, This year marks the 18th anniversary of Shen Yun's
  establishment in the United States; in 2006, a small group of elite
  Chinese artists came together in New York with the mission to revive
  traditional Chinese culture and share it with the world; since
  then, Shen Yun has staged magnificent live performances of
  classical Chinese dance that incorporate a blend of Eastern
  instrumentation and Western symphony orchestra to portray 5,000
  years of Chinese history and culture; and
         WHEREAS, Each year, Shen Yun Performing Arts designs
  brand-new productions that take audiences back through time and
  space to experience China before the advent of Communism; since its
  inception, Shen Yun has grown to eight equally sized companies that
  tour around the world synchronously; it will kick off its 2024
  season in Houston on December 26, 2023, which will be followed by
  performances in Dallas, Austin, Lubbock, San Antonio, McAllen,
  Midland, and El Paso, for a total of 37 shows in Texas; and
         WHEREAS, Shen Yun has introduced countless patrons to the
  exquisite beauty and richness of traditional Chinese culture and
  dance, and it is a pleasure to join in celebrating the return of
  Shen Yun and its impressively talented performers to the Bayou
  City; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor Shen Yun Performing
  Arts as it embarks on its 2024 world tour in Houston and recognize
  December 26, 2023, as Shen Yun Day; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Shen Yun Performing Arts as an expression of high
  regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
