André Rieu & The Johann Strauss Orchestra UK Shows

Terry Lane - Friday 27.08.10, 09:01am

André Rieu has become known for his melodramatic live performances and a lifestyle more akin to a rock star rather than a classical musician.  He was born 1949 into a musical family in Maastricht in the Netherlands. His father was a conductor with the Maastricht Symphony Orchestra and at the age of five he began learning to play the violin.  After studying in the Netherlands and Belgium from 1968 to 1973 he went on to attend the Music Academy in Brussels from 1974 to 1977 and studied with Andre Gertler.

In 1987 he formed The Johann Strauss Orchestra along with his own production company.  The Johann Strauss Orchestra began performing with just 12 members but now performs extravagant live shows with between 40 and 50 musicians.

André Rieu has performed throughout Europe, in North America, and Japan and won many music awards including two World Music Awards.  At his own recording studio in his home town of Maastricht he now records a wide range of classical music along with popular and folk music.  He is also known for recording film soundtracks.

In September André Rieu & The Johann Strauss Orchestra will be performing five live concerts as part of a UK Tour.
