By: Kelsey Denette Mar. 05, 2012
Yanni announced the first leg of a major tour of North America commencing in April of 2012. Yanni will perform as part of Fred Meyer Broadway In Boise for 1 show at the Morrison Center on August 1, 2012 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $45.00 - $125.00 and are available at the Morrison Center Box Office, all Select-a-Seat outlets, online at IdahoTickets.com, or call (208) 426-1110.
On December 16th and 17th, Yanni performed and filmed two shows at Castillo San Felipe Del Morro, a recognized UNESCO Heritage Site, in Puerto Rico. The show will air exclusively in the United States on PBS and debut March 3, 2012. The CD/DVD combo will be available exclusively through PBS pledge drives and a worldwide release in the Spring of 2012.
This year saw Yanni, one of the music industry's most beloved artists, selling out major concert venues around the world including Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. With his world-class orchestra, he performed music from his latest album "Truth of Touch," now platinum in the Middle East, as well as classic concert favorites.
In October, Yanni was embraced and honored by the country of China when the government invited Yanni to adopt a panda during his time in Chengdu. Traditionally such privilege is reserved for countries rather than personalities. He affectionately named her "Santorini" in honor of the word's embedded Greek meaning, "Peace," for Greece's most beautiful island and after one of Yanni's most well known compositions.
In addition to his television special in Puerto Rico, his string of U.S. dates will be followed by a SouthAmerican tour in the fall of 2012, and a multi-city tour of China in 2013. As Yanni tours across the globe, his heartfelt and compelling music continues to touch both old and new fans.
In a separate announcement, Yanni has just debuted "Yanni-All Access" on the artist's official website,www.yanni.com. It is an exclusive behind the scenes view withhighlights from Yanni's concert dates, cultural attractions, and the musician's message for premium fan club members.
