<\/a>Born in 1954, Yanni was one of the artists, who rose to popularity as part of the new age music boom of the 1980s and ’90s to enjoy great and ever lasting success. Composing and performing instrumental music with a pronounced sense of drama, dynamics, and romanticism, Yanni broke through to a significantly larger audience than his peers thanks to a commanding performance\u00a0style that attracted fans through frequent appearances on public television.
\nYanni became worldwide famous and favorite artist of people. It does not take Yanni much time to realize his first conception. Soon after beginning to strike out separately, he recorded his first album, \u201cOptimystique\u201d.\u00a0In 1993 Yanni performed a special show at the Herod Atticus Theater in Athens, Greece, after which an album called \u201cYanni Live at the Acropolis\u201d was recorded. Likely this album became major success for Yanni, which was sold over seven million copies worldwide. Concluding his tour of concerts in over 40 countries, Yanni\u00a0recorded perhaps his favorite album – \u201cTruth of Touch\u201d, which was done as an album with game plan. “I wasn’t even trying to make an\u00a0album,” YANNI recalls. “I just felt like writing music. I happened to\u00a0be at a point where I wasn’t stressed out about going on tour or\u00a0having to deliver an album for anyone. It was just a six-month\u00a0period where every night I walked into my studio and I had fun. I\u00a0felt the music. It just showed itself to me. It was probably the best\u00a0way to do an album.”
\nAnd now after successful tours throughout the US, Canada,\u00a0Mexico and Panama, Yanni begins series of concert in Eastern\u00a0Europe (Yerevan, Bucharest, Budapest) starting in September\u00a0of 2011 that will continue onto Asia (Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul,\u00a0Dubai) and Latin America.\u00a0New Age maestro Yanni continues his new series of concerts\u00a0in Eastern Europe giving a great concert in Yerevan on\u00a023 September. Greek born composer is no stranger to\u00a0Armenian music and Armenian Instruments. As the great\u00a0composer said, he spent considerable amount of time studying\u00a0other cultures and music. This comes to say that Armenian music also became an inspiration for world\u00a0famous musician, and Yanni created masterpieces around\u00a0ancient instruments such as the 3,000 year old Armenian\u00a0Duduk.
\nIn recent years Yanni has also called upon Armenian\u00a0musicians such as the great violinist Samvel Yervinyan\u00a0among others. In fact Samvel is now part of Yanni\u2019s\u00a0orchestra and is currently on a world tour with Yanni.\u00a0So, great opportunity for Armenians, as well as guests and visitors of Armenia to enjoy the glorious concert of\u00a0Yanni in one of the most beautiful capitals of words \u2013\u00a0Yerevan!<\/p>\n
