Chinese New Year Splendor

January 24, 2009 — January 25, 2009 at Radio City Music Hall

NTDTV Presents, By Divine Performing Arts

Profound. Sublime. Inspiring. That was the unequivocal response to last year's show. NTDTV's Chinese New Year Splendor is the most inspiring celebration of traditional Chinese culture as it was meant to be — a study in grace, fluidity, balance, and inner strength. A program of nearly twenty masterful dances and songs brings Asia's celebrated past to life on stage. The vigorous drums of the 7th century Tang court will quicken your pulse, while the pastoral charm of inner Mongolian dance will delight your soul. Dozens of brilliant performers, coupled with an innovative full orchestra. Part of a 20 country world tour.

Divine Performing Arts is a unique group of leading artists who share in a vision of cultural renewal. The company is a triumph of collaboration, bringing together over a hundred of the world's foremost classically trained Chinese dancers, choreographers, musicians, and vocalists. It also boasts the world's only full orchestra that embraces both Western and Chinese instruments as its permanent members.

Based in New York, Divine Performing Arts is distinguished by its conscious effort to remain independent of China's communist regime, which has abused and impoverished the arts for decades. It is proud to thus include members who practice Falun Gong. The company aspires to create original performances that not only entertain, but also more deeply educate, enrich, and inspire. The company's rich repertory is drawn from the pages of history, universal themes, and the world around us. All choreography and music performed are original.
