A fter a 6-year sell-out success at New York’s Lincoln Center,
Shen Yun Performing Arts will make its debut in Palm Beach
County on April 29th and 30th at the Kravis Center.
Dozens of dancers in dazzling costumes, thunderous drums, and spec-
tacular backdrops take you to another world—Heavenly maidens,
brave warriors, mischievous monks...
China’s 5,000 years of uninterrupted history has yielded an endless
treasure trove of legends, myths, and literary
classics. Shen Yun will take you on an extraordi-
nary journey spanning from the origins of Chi-
nese civilization through the height of the Tang
and Song Dynasties all the way to the modern
day. It’s a performance that not only entertains,
but more broadly, educates and inspires.
Shen Yun Performing Arts enthusiasts include
Royals, award-winning celebrities, producers,
authorities in the music and performing arts
industries, icons of fashion and the performing arts, Olympic
champions, as well as some of the most highly regarded media.
Locals and national notables on the Host Committee of the Shen
Yun benefit dinner which took place in New York on February
12th included Rita Cosby and Tomaczek Bednarek; Alexandra
and Arnaud de Borchgrave; Kirsten and Averell Harriman Fisk;
Maribel Alvarez and James Pappas; Emilia and Pepe Fanjul;
Ambassador Charles Gargano; The Honorable Earle I. Mack;
Pamela Newman; Tom Allon; Norma Kamali; Jane Holzer; Hen-
ry Buhl; Joel Pashcow; Agostino von Hassell; Ava Roosevelt;
