The most beautiful island in the world.

I'’ve always said if I could put images to my music, this is what the Pavlo sound would look like.

The Greek spirit is alive and well and I can describe it in one word unique to the Greek language.

Filotimo.

But there'’s a little hidden secret here on the island, the sunrise, just as spectacular.

In my brand new song "Santorini Sunrise," I feature the best at what she does on the accordion, Zoe Tiganouria.

Making memories with them is the most important thing in the world for me.

This next song is about stealing a piece of time to make memories with the people you love.

The song "Make a Memory" has profound meaning to me, it is even more special to have one of the world'’s greatest tenors, here to sing it.

Daniel Emmet.

(audience applauding) PAVLO: My next special guest is a PBS star.

Our mutual love for the guitar is what brought us together.

Here is an arrangement of a popular television song, "My Life is Going On."

It is an absolute pleasure to share the stage with the amazing Benise.

And I grew up listening to some great classics.

One of them, a beautiful song called "Love Story."

Perhaps the most romantic song ever written.

And I'’m in the most romantic island in the world.

And I have one of the up and coming tenors to join me on stage, Mr. Daniel Emmet.

(audience applauding) PAVLO: The idea of filming a special on the isle of Santorini began as a wild fantasy '’cause no one had ever done it before.

It is a privilege to be the first artist in history to bring a Santorini concert to the screen.

As the saying goes, "If I am dreaming, don'’t wake me."

Santorini, Greece, welcomes all cultures from all over the world.

One of them, the Armenian culture, a beautiful storied culture.

This next song is a medley of classic Armenian folk songs.

And aside from his height and his beautiful flowing hair, Benise and I have a lot in common.

The love for the guitar.

We actually met in a cafe over a cup of cortado.

Here is the first song we ever wrote together bearing the same name, "Cortado."

(audience applauding) "Tango to Evora" was written by a Canadian superstar, Loreena McKennitt.

Loreena was generous enough to invite me to perform this song with her at the storied Acropolis, in Athens.

I took great care to arrange this song including old world and new world instruments including the ancient lyra.

Of course I had to use Haris Alexiou'’s Greek lyrics and here to sing it, the amazing Eva Manta.

(audience applauding) PAVLO: My guitar has been my passport to the world.

I consider myself incredibly lucky.

I never, ever take it for granted when someone stops and takes the time listen to my music.

And for that, I am forever indebted.

This is a song I wrote called "Efharisto" which simply means in Greek, thank you.
