A week after leaving the tropical island of Taiwan, Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra started its North America tour in Toronto.

One of Canada's premier concert halls, Roy Thomson Hall features a pipe organ and special sloping architecture. This is the Symphony's fourth year performing here.

Mighty instruments, mighty musicians. Hui-Ching Chen and the double bass section.

Music not only brings joy to our audience, but also to our own musicians. Pictured: principal bassist Juraj Kukan.

Built in 1900, Boston Symphony Hall remains one of the world's top concert halls.

Boston Symphony Hall is renowned for its impressive acoustics and architecture. Can you spot the 16 replicas of Greco-Roman statues along the walls?

This Aeolian-Skinner organ is one of Boston Symphony Hall's most prominent features. Installed in 1949, the instrument is considered one of the finest concert hall organs in the world.

More fine-tuning for a perfect concert.

A week later, in DC, we took a moment to enjoy the crisp morning air before entering the concert hall.

Then, fully invigorated, we arrived at the Music Center at Strathmore for our 2017 season finale.

Seeing as it was our first time at the venue, conductor Milen Nachev paused rehearsal to take a snapshot of the gorgeous hall.

Everyone in good cheer, and ready for the final concert of the season.

It's been a great symphony tour and we'll miss playing all our pieces. The Light Calvary Overture by Suppe was a favorite among our musicians.

The woodwind section takes a group photo memento to celebrate. Until next year!

After a 14-stop tour of Asia, Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra returned to top North American venues for part two of the 2017 concert tour. We played in Toronto, Boston, and Washington, DC, and revisited Carnegie Hall for the sixth year running.

It's been a spectacular season. We saw sparkling concert halls with remarkable history, performed for wonderful audiences, and enjoyed some comfy couches backstage, too. Here, we take you behind the scenes, from setup to chill out to full on.

By the way, our musicians are now back and preparing for the all-new Shen Yun 2018. We'll be seeing you soon!
