The Chinese classical music and dance company Shen Yun performs at Robinson Center Music Hall tonight. According to the group’s website, Shen Yun presents “a collection of short pieces, audiences travel from the Himalayas to tropical lake-filled regions; from the legends of the culture’s creation over 5,000 years ago through to the story of Falun Dafa in China today; from the highest heavens down to the dusty plateaus of the Middle Kingdom.” If that sounds like your jam, the show starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are $59-$133.
