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.
