As Shen Yun Performing Arts brings its 2026 world tour to Baltimore, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia, local officials have issued proclamations and congratulatory letters, praising the company’s outstanding contributions over the past 20 years in reviving traditional culture and elevating artistic excellence. They also welcomed Shen Yun’s return to these key cultural cities on the East Coast.

Founded in 2006, Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company, showcasing the beauty and splendor of traditional Chinese culture and art prior to the ravages of communism. The New York-based company currently boasts eight equally-sized troupes that tour and perform across the world simultaneously, putting on a brand new production each year.
