Wow, I have to tell you about the concert my hubby and I went to on Wednesday.  It was Yanni Voices at the Ted Constant Auditorium in Norfolk, VA.  My husband loves Yanni's music, so I gave him tickets to the concert for his birthday this year.  I've heard Yanni's music but I really didn't know what to expect at the concert.  For those who aren't familiar with Yanni, he's a self-taught pianist, keyboardist and composer.

We had great seats.  I had requested handicap seats since my husband broke his foot nine weeks ago and is still on crutches.  We were right at center stage.  Yanni, as a composer/pianist, generally does contemporary instrumental (some call it New Age) music, but for this concert he added singers to much of the music.  And what fantastic voices these singers have.

It you have the opportunity to see this concert in your area, I would highly recommend it.  It was absolutely fabulous!

I echo everyone elses seniment. I love Yanni too. He's wonderful. Several years ago he held a concert in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I did not get to go and I was so disapointed. I'm so glad you got to see him and listen in person. I know you enjoyed it. Woo Hoo to you.

I never have heard of this guy except once. He was playing a flute I believe. Nice present for the Hubby. I hope the wife gets me Judas Priest tickets this year, as ya might know, I dig rock music. I am an ELVIS fan and WAYNE NEWTON. fan as well..so I bet I would like Yanni!
