André Rieu Tickets Continued

André Rieu is a Dutch violinist virtuoso and conductor of the Johann Strauss Orchestra. He was born in Maastricht, Holland in 1950 into a very musical family. His father was a conductor while most of his brothers and sisters are professional musicians.

To overcome shyness onstage during his early career, and to remove the emotional distance between himself and his audience, he adopted the example of Johann Strauss, who would create a festive atmosphere at his performances and encourage his audiences to enjoy the music by getting out of their seats and waltzing in the aisles. This was well received, and André Rieu assembled a group of local Dutch musicians, creating the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

In 1994, he released his first album “Strauss & Co”. It was released as popular music, and did very well on the Dutch and German charts. In 1996 André Rieu toured throughout Europe, gaining additional fans in Germany, France and Austria. A new album, From Holland With Love, released that year, held the number one position on the Dutch charts for over a year.
