Shen Yun Review: Kerry Stratton, Toronto Concert Orchestra conductor and radio host

“To combine that sound—that very ancient sound with the more modern, let’s say, Western symphony orchestra sound—is a challenge that they’ve met, they’ve met very well. And the colour is unique. You won’t find this colour anywhere else…” He [Shen Yun Conductor Milen Nachev] is a very fine conductor. I admire him very much.... He’s got great technique. I liked all the soloists. They have such sustaining power. It was really quite astounding. They can really deliver those arias. It’s a fresh experience. Shen Yun doesn’t come often enough.”
