Yanni - Tribute Concert Album

Yanni – Tribute Concert Album

April 23rd, 2009 |

The recent article by B.T. Fasmer about the upcoming Yanni concert scheduled for May 13 2009 in New York led to some great discussion with a good friend of mine about the past Live Yanni Tribute Concert and programing which first aired on PBS television stations in 1997.

Perhaps many of our NewAgeMusicWorld.Com & NewAgeMusic.nu visitors can recall watching this past televised concert also since it is then estimated that well over a half billion people around the world over are familiar with, or have watched the esteemed musician Yanni. Our discussion about Yanni included the extremely talented musicians who accompany by their masterful instrumentals and perform solos during his many scheduled concert tours.

Chances are you too remember this one particular moment in time during the PBS concert at the Taj Mahal in India where violinist Karen Briggs and woodwind specialist Pedro Eustache played a New World version of the song Renegade which highlighted both performers taking turns on improvised back and forth solos with increasingly more intricate and complex rhythms which left the live audience and PBS television viewers amazed. Karen Briggs and Pedro Eustache were both decisive winners in the duel performance which was truly special.

Yanni Concerts are truly memorable !

Both Karen Briggs and Pedro Eustache are accomplished musicians with American born Karen Briggs, often described as the Lady in Red, a master violinist who performed with Yanni for 13 years plus many single and orchestra concert appearances, with one album and movie soundtrack to her credit.

Venezuelan born Pedro Eustache specializes in ethnic flutes and woodwinds section, having two albums and a multitude of appearances with other renown musicians and composers worldwide, also playing a variety of instruments in many popular movie soundtracks. Pedro also regularly toured with Yanni for 10 years. Both artists are diverse and relentless in their pursuit of perfection in their chosen field of music and well worth a visit to their individual websites to learn more about some of the past and present day extraordinary musicians who make up the major concert headliner everyone recognizes as Yanni.

The official Yanni.com website is also a great place to visit for news and the past but memorable Tribute Concert Album just mentioned, along with all discography and a vast number of live concert tour dates presently available in the United States.
