A Principal of Wushu: Erhu Performance is Beyond My Words
Kevin Lockett, principal of a Maryland martial arts school, remarked that Shen Yun was a very special and charming show.
In addition to running his own martial arts school, Lockett plays a variety of musical instruments and performed thousands of times with the band. It was the first time he enjoyed the Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra. He said there were so many surprises in the combination of traditional Chinese and Western instruments.
He was impressed by the unique Chinese music in the Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra, especially the Erhu performance. He said, "I like the Erhu performance. It is very unique.”
"The erhu can express rich emotions. It is very touching.” Lockett said it was hard to describe the feeling he had from the Erhu, but he was very touched.
He was impressed by the Shen Yun singers. He believed they were the most powerful voices he had ever heard. The reverberation was very impressive!
He was particularly impressed by the lyrics. His understanding was that we should go back to traditional culture. Modern day society is causing people to move downhill.
