AN EVENING WITH YANNI | Wed., May 16, 2012 | Aronoff Center

CINCINNATI, OH – Yanni, music’s true world citizen and most popular contemporary composer, returns to Cincinnati in the first-leg of his all-new North American tour – An Evening with Yanni – on Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 8:00 PM at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall. The much-anticipated show is part of the Cincinnati Arts Association’s 2012 Winter/Spring Season.

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.ORG, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], or the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.

On December 16th and 17th, Yanni will perform and film two shows at Castillo San Felipe Del Morro, a recognized UNESCO Heritage Site, in Puerto Rico. The show will air exclusively in the United States on PBS and debut March 3, 2012. The CD/DVD combo will be available exclusively through PBS pledge drives and a worldwide release in the Spring of 2012.

This year saw Yanni, one of the music industry’s most beloved artists, selling out major concert venues around the world including Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. With his world-class orchestra, he performed music from his latest album “Truth of Touch,” now platinum in the Middle East, as well as classic concert favorites.

In October, Yanni was embraced and honored by the country of China when the government invited Yanni to adopt a panda during his time in Chengdu. Traditionally such privilege is reserved for countries rather than personalities. He affectionately named her “Santorini” in honor of the word’s embedded Greek meaning, “Peace,” for Greece’s most beautiful island and after one of Yanni’s most well known compositions.

In addition to his television special in Puerto Rico, his string of U.S. dates will be followed by a South American tour in the fall of 2012, and a multi-city tour of China in 2013. As Yanni tours across the globe, his heartfelt and compelling music continues to touch both old and new fans.

In a separate announcement, Yanni has just debuted “Yanni-All Access” on the artist’s official website, http://www.yanni.com. It is an exclusive behind the scenes view with highlights from Yanni’s concert dates, cultural attractions, and the musician’s message for premium fan club members.

For further information and dates, stay tuned to: www.yanni.com.

IMAGINATION MOVERS: Rock-O-Matic Tour 2012 | Thu., April 19, 4 PM & 7 PM | Aronoff Center

IMAGINATION MOVERS’ ROCK-O-MATIC TOUR 2012!
REAL GUITAR, REAL DRUMS, & REAL FUN!
NEW ROCK-O-MATIC CD/DVD JUST RELEASED!

CINCINNATI, OH – Want to add some rock ‘n’ roll excitement and entertainment to your family’s life? Then don’t miss the IMAGINATION MOVERS’ 2012 Rock-O-Matic Tour! Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty – of the Emmy® Award-winning Disney Channel TV series IMAGINATION MOVERS – are bringing their high- octane rock concert to the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Thursday, April 19 for two shows only at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. It’s a fun-filled event the whole family can enjoy!

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.ORG, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], or the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. Group discounts are available by calling (513) 977-4157. Ticket prices start at as low as $18, and exclusive Mini-Movers VIP packages are available, which include premium seating and a chance to meet The Movers.

The Cincinnati stop is part of the first leg of a massive 2012 national tour that begins after brand-new episodes of The Movers’ Emmy® Award-winning show premiere on Disney Jr. during “Movers Week,” April 2-6.

The Movers were the highest-rated and most popular live family act of 2011. The key to the Movers’ appeal is they combine danceable power pop songs with extremely catchy choruses and a knack for inspiring audience participation. Throw in a heaping helping of onstage silliness and you’ve got a recipe for a live musical event that will truly engage the littlest of kids along with their older siblings, parents, and grandparents. It doesn’t hurt that the Movers pepper their live shows with musical references to their many inspirations, including U2, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Johnson, the Beastie Boys, and all sorts of classic and modern rockers.

The 2011 In A Big Warehouse tour garnered critical praise from fans: “The Movers show was in a word: AMAZING! So much fun, high energy, and a memory we will never forget. If you have a little one who loves the Movers, do not miss this show! We can’t wait for them to tour again.”

On the Rock-O-Matic tour, the guys will be playing all their favorite songs from their wildly popular TV series as well as debuting new material from their brand-new “Rock-O-Matic” CD/DVD. The new disc – released on February 28 by Razor + Tie – features the band’s most irresistible songs to date, live-action and animated music videos, skits that recall old-school Movers comedy heroes like Monty Python and the Monkees, and the high-energy hijinks for which The Movers are famous.

The Imagination Movers began in 2003 as a rock band for kids in New Orleans and have grown into the stars of a hit television series seen in over 55 countries on the Disney Channel. On the show, the Movers star as four friends who work together in the Idea Warehouse to solve problems through creativity and teamwork. Their friends Nina and Warehouse Mouse are there to help along the way as the Movers brainstorm ideas and explore the Warehouse’s many magical rooms. Each episode features two or more original Movers songs.

In addition to winning an Emmy® Award, a Common Sense Media Award, and many other honors, the Movers have also performed twice at the White House, as well as on “Good Morning America,” “Live With Regis and Kelly,” and “The View.”
