Yanni to Embark on an Extensive North American Tour in Early 2016
(October 20, 2015) The No. 1 selling, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and global
phenomenon YANNI has performed his distinctive music in exotic and historic locations all
across the world. From his concert at The Acropolis, to his most recent televised performance at El Morro, Puerto Rico,
YANNI has pushed the boundaries of the
way audiences experience live music. After performing at China's Forbidden City and India's
Taj Mahal, YANNI is thrilled to announce the realization of his life long dream—to perform at
the last remaining Seventh Wonder of the World at the foot of the Sphinx at the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
YANNI has held the record for most No. 1’s in Billboard’s “New Age” category, racking up
40+ platinum and gold albums with sales in excess of 25 million. Several of his works have
received Grammy Award nominations while his tours consistently sell out. YANNI is truly a
global artist - he has performed on every continent (aside from Antarctica - but he’s working
on that) and in front of millions of people.
Performing in Egypt at the Great Pyramids is an incredible honor for YANNI, he says, “I’ve
been wanting to come to Egypt for many, many years. I do believe that now is the right moment to be performing in front of their magnificent pyramids. It is very beautiful for me to finally see this life long dream of mine become a reality.” Says Promoter, Ashraf Hamadi, “I
have always dreamt of bringing special artists to my country; to Egypt, land of civilization. I
never imagined that the dream I have had for years is finally coming true. My dream was to
bring the great YANNI to Egypt and to make it a truly special show. I have always had a vision
in my mind to witness YANNI AT THE PYRAMIDS as if it were a beautiful portrait being painted in front of my eyes that combines the legendary Yanni with such a historic place. There has
been a high demand of the show nationally and internationally. With support from the Egyptian government and Yanni himself, it makes me feel even more responsible to make my
dream come true, not only for me, but for the millions of fans he has all around the world and
make this a successful, “Historic Event" for us all. “
YANNI “The Dream Concert” Live at the Great Pyramids of Egypt will be captured in 4K
state-of-the-art high definition audio and video for national broadcast on PBS Stations and
available for fans everywhere from PBS on Blu-ray and DVD.
The phenomenon of YANNI's music is its global appeal, especially remarkable given that it
receives no radio play. YANNI’s videos have garnered nearly 350 million views on
Youtube, this year alone which is how most of the world actually listens to his music.
YANNI’S primarily instrumental works cross all barriers - without the distraction of lyrics the
music is accessible to all listeners regardless of age, race, language or culture.
In advance of the Spring debut of YANNI “The Dream Concert” Live at the Great Pyramids of
Egypt PBS special, YANNI and his 15-member band will kick off a US tour in early February.
YANNI will perform cherished favorites and some new surprises for the very first time.
