Yanni -in conversation- with Costa Mesa April 3rd

Fans will experience a different side of the composer being able to ask him questions

Rather than having the backing of an orchestra, this evening will feature YANNI and his piano, which he will play from time to time throughout the show. YANNI will share his experiences traveling the globe, insight into his creative process, his understanding and interaction with cultures from around the world, and his experience planning and performing in mega shows in some of the most revered places on earth. Fans will be encouraged to ask any question that is on their mind.

YANNI, one of the most celebrated composers and multi-gold and platinum-selling artists of our time will provide fans with the unprecedented opportunity to talk with him directly. For decades, YANNI has thrilled audiences worldwide with his dynamic live performances. Now, for the first time, he is stepping off the concert stage to give his fans the chance to interact with him on a more intimate and personal level.

“It gives me great pleasure and excitement to engage all of you in a free-form discussion, open exchange of ideas and illustrations on the piano...an impromptu piano performance, here and there, is not out of the question. It all depends on the feeling of the moment...no two evenings will ever be alike...we are going to be-up close and personal. Let's have fun with it! Looking forward to being with you.” – YANNI

YANNI’s fans have never experienced this side of him before. Each evening will be completely unscripted – the conversation going wherever the audience questions lead. A limited number of VIP Meet and Greet tickets will be available. VIP ticket holders will have the opportunity to meet YANNI in person, take a photo and will be given an exclusive VIP keepsake laminate.

Single tickets start at $59 and are available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 10 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236.
