wow, Wow, WOW!

Last night we went to see Yanni, live. I love his music. And like one of the reviewers said, sorry, not sorry. Passionate, powerful, dynamic, moving, joyful...and more. Plus, he's charming and a real delight on stage


Here are just a couple review snippets;

"According to the weird looks and Facebook comments I’ve been receiving, it’s not normal to fill your Spotify playlists with Yanni songs, nor devote evenings to his show. Forgive me for my ignorance. Or, as my friend Lauren would say, sorry not sorry.



***************************************************************************
"He performed with his 12-piece orchestra for more than two hours with music from all walks of his career. There are few modern-day composers with a unique sense of music and style which is truly their own. To compare new-age music with classic rock is a stretch, but for Yanni, it is possible. This Greek composer marries contemporary new-age spirituality with today’s pop attitudes and delivers a unique sound which puts him in a class of his own. As far as contemporary new-age music goes, Yanni is a step above the rest.

What pleasantly caught me off guard Monday was the amount of genuine fun and energy there was on stage — not just by Yanni playing his multiple keyboards, but by all 12 people in the orchestra. I have always known that Yanni, as a composer, created all the music — not just for the ivory keys, but for all the instruments on stage. I have never seen one of his live performances before. It was a real treat to see him demonstrate that he has a complete connection to his music — and is able to show it in a very unique and entertaining way."

I want to go again, and again and again and again!

If YOU ever get an opportunity to see Yanni live, please! go, you'll LOVE it I promise.
