Born in Kalamata, Greece, in 1954, Yanni began playing piano at age six and developed his musical skills without formal piano lessons. His international recognition grew through Live at the Acropolis, filmed in Athens in 1993 and broadcast worldwide, introducing his compositions to a much broader audience. (yanni.com)
