“Wonderful event! Congratulations! The Inaugural Sino-American Culture & Performance Extravaganza was a delightful night of entertainment. The proficiency of each artist was excellent and the program included cultural exploration. It is unusual to experience the sound of a harpsichord, bagpipes, singing and dancing all in one program that culminated with the thrilling feats of a fire dancer.
This event was the most memorable and had more top-notch talented performers than any event I ever attended! The variety was amazing. All the vocalists were … inspiring and unforgettable. The dancers added cultural variety and their costumes were wonderful. The Fire-knife dancer was a truly powerful climax! I was enthralled, entranced, fascinated, and inspired with this once-in-a-lifetime concert experience.”

“Speaking as one who doesn’t attend fine arts concerts on a regular basis, I was very impressed with the level of talent on display. The performances were very professional, inspirational, and uplifting. My favorite numbers were the violinist and the producer/pianist, Sean Steiner. These two artists were exceptional and so enjoyable to listen to. It is admirable to understand the purpose of the concert, as a gift to the people of Ogden, which was given in appreciation for the many contributions of Ogden’s early Chinese immigrants in the building of our railroad. I look forward to attending next year.”
