Music lovers in Sharjah can look forward to an enchanting night as legendary Greek musician Yanni takes the stage at Sharjah’s Al Majaz Amphitheatre on Al Majaz Island tomorrow (November 6).

Tickets for the first ever Sharjah performance were totally sold out days ahead of the concert and organisers subsequently released 150 additional seats responding to public demand.

Hosted by Al Majaz Amphitheatre as part of Sharjah’s efforts to promote appreciation of art and culture in the emirate, Yanni promises a feast of senses for his fans in the region saying he is planning to play many of his chartbusters as well as songs and scores especially composed for the Sharjah performance.

The musical genius has more than 40 albums to his credit and has sold 25 million copies of his music worldwide. Furthermore, Yanni has just finished recording his latest album, which will be released to the public shortly.

“A lot of the music that I have composed for this album has been greatly influenced and inspired by experiences within the Arab world. I am sure listeners to the album will easily identify the music that has this influence,” he said.

Sharjah has always celebrated and promoted an appreciation of art, culture and literature, and is once again looking forward to encouraging a new renaissance of music and culture by attracting the most accomplished artists and popular musicians from around the world.

Concert tickets are available on Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.ae), the sole agent and distributor of the Yanni concert tickets in the UAE. – TradeArabia News Service
