Yanni to perform in Oman on March 21

Muscat: The legendary Greek-American composer Yanni, who performed in Oman two years ago, returns to Muscat on March 21 for another show at Qurum.

Brought to Oman again by the Black & White magazine, this year’s show at the 5,000-seat City Amphitheatre, is in support of charity organisation, Dar Al Atta, for building a school for children in Yiti Village.

“Besides bringing a world class event to Oman, for the second time that is, we also feel that world famous musicians like Yanni can help put Oman on the musical map of the world. Yanni and his team are known to promote the countries they perform in and this was evidenced in the media blitz that he created during his last visit to Oman,” Mohammad Eisa Al Zadjali, editor-in-chief of the magazine, said.

“Also, all our events are charity initiatives. This time, we wanted to support Dar Al Atta’s attempt to build a school (building) in Yiti Village. We sincerely hope our Yanni event will help us in our humble attempt,” he added.

Under the theme, ‘World Without Borders’, Yanni, who has performed around the world, including previously to sell-out crowds at the Acropolis, Taj Mahal and China’s Forbidden City (he was the first western performer to play at the latter two venues), has managed to capture the hearts of romantics and musical lovers everywhere.

Yanni recently played two sold-out concerts at the historic 16th-century Castillo San Felipe Del Morro in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a Unesco heritage site. Yanni’s performances at Castillo San Felipe Del Morro represent a 20-year dream come true for the artist. The shows also connect the famed Puerto Rican landmark with other iconic sites that have played host to Yanni’s spectacular concerts.

Yanni has brought hundreds of millions of fans and fellow world citizens together through his concerts, with countless experiencing the magic of his music through television broadcasts.

Yanni’s contemporary symphonic music has inspired millions of fans around the world. In concert, his passionate, soaring melodies and lush orchestration has always succeeded in creating a spirited and uplifting musical experience like no other.

Yanni’s music cut across borders and always manages to woo the musically inclined with its rich musical repertoire; scintillating soundscapes unleashed by exotic instruments and gorgeously treated vocals and his trademark high-tech studio wizardry.
