Proclamation welcoming Shen Yun Performing Arts to Allegheny County and Pittsburgh’s Benedum Center for the Performing Arts on January 24-25, 2020.
body
WHEREAS, Shen Yun is a presentation of traditional Chinese culture, a study in grace, wisdom, and virtues distilled from five millennia of Chinese civilization; and
WHEREAS, in ancient China, artists emphasized virtue, study, and meditation because they took to heart an ancient Chinese belief that to create true art, there must be inner beauty and purity. Today, the artists of Shen Yun follow in this noble tradition, immersing themselves in meditation and study of the classics and adopting the virtues of ancient China into their daily lives. The result is a performance that moves audiences in beautiful and profound ways; and
WHEREAS, Shen Yun performances uplift humanity through messages of courage, virtue, and harmony as shared with the audience through a creative and fascinating stage presentation; and
WHEREAS, the volunteers of the Greater Philadelphia Falun Dafa Association (GPFDA) have worked tirelessly to present Shen Yun to the people of Pennsylvania. 2020 will mark the 14th year that the residents of our Commonwealth can experience superb artistry and cultural legacy that Shen Yun imparts to the world;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we, Allegheny County Council Member Patrick Catena, Nick Futules, Cindy Kirk, John Palmiere, Robert Palmosina and Anita Prizio do hereby welcome Shen Yun Performing Arts to Allegheny County and Pittsburgh’s Benedum Center for the Performing Arts on January 24-25, 2020 and congratulates the cast and crew for their brilliant performances and depiction of true Chinese culture;
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto caused the Seal of the County of Allegheny to be affixed this 24th day of January 2020.
