MESSAGE FROM ALDERMAN CHABOT
It is my absolute pleasure to extend a heartfelt welcome and sincere greeting to the artists and everyone supporting the Shen Yun 2010 World Tour.
The classic beauty and extraordinary expression of Shen Yun Performing Arts enriches our lives and touches us as individuals in ways that few other things have the ability to do.
A production such as this stirs the soul with its lavish and vibrant colours, intricate and superbly choreographed movement and poignant music. Having an opportunity to experience another culture through its art is both a privilege and an honour for the residents of Calgary.
It is my hope that as many Calgarians as possible take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Congratulations and welcome to Calgary!
