Tuba player Brandon Neal is studying wind band and orchestra conducting at the University of Louisville School of Music. He saw Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts.

[Brandon Neal, Tuba Player]:
“It had a very spiritual feeling to it, the music. I guess, it was like very enrapturing, it just pulls you in to the dance and I felt like even though we weren’t doing anything in the audience we felt a part of something, even though we really didn’t have a clue of what it was.”

[Nicole Boguslaw, Cellist]:
“It gives you a lot of understanding too in to what the culture and a lot of ideas that I didn’t really know anything about beforehand.”

A local radio producer took his wife to see the show.

[Jamie Guillory, Radio Producer]:
“Wonderful music here, beautiful costumes. A lot of creativity and a lot of hard work goes in to this from what we can see.”

[Doris Guillory, Song Composer]:
“The design, the dancers, I mean it was just 100 percent, everything. It was. You could tell all the workmanship that went in to and the time that was put in. It was just phenomenal…Just the whole arrangement of everything about the whole show. The arrangement of the colors, the backdrops. Everything just went together smoothly and it showed so much love and it showed family and unity and culture and all the things that’s so beautiful out there and you just don’t see that much anymore. And it was just absolutely beautiful.”
