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. |
