"What an amazing show--the colors, the agility, the flexibility, the trip we took through China, the singing, the music--really amazing," she said.

"The music was amazing. I love the [erhu] and I found this instrument even more captivating and profound than the violin. I liked it very, very much."

She was also impressed by the Shen Yun orchestra with its combination of Western and Chinese instruments.

"I found the conductor superb--what a master! We felt the music." Referring to the coordination between the orchestra and the dancers, she said, "It was so harmonious, the coordination was so harmonious."
