Dare to Dream, is Yanni's eighth album, released on the Private Music label in 1992, (see 1992 in music). The album peaked at #2 on "Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart and at #32 on the "Billboard 200" chart in the same year.[1] It went gold within two months of its release and was nominated for a Grammy.
The album was followed by the sell-out, 65-city Dare to Dream concert tour which challenged audiences "not to be afraid to dream".[2]
His newest album, "Dare to Dream", says Yanni, "comes from a realization that not only don't people go after their dreams, they are often afraid to dream at all. If we don't dare to dream, we can't shape our future".[3]
