In its concerts it is common to see the audience clap and dance to the rhythm of waltzes, soundtracks, folk songs, musicals and melodies of their precious Stradivarius violin of 1732.

It's a perfect blend of excitement, romance, party and emotive melodies combined with surprises, balloons, incredible soloists and, of course, André Rieu's fantastic sense of humor.

A violinist, conductor and founder of the Johann Strauss Orchestra, André Rieu has sold an impressive 40 million CDs and DVDs and his live concerts attract more than 600,000 people a year.
