André Rieu: "Even as a child I was fascinated by the enormous world of music. My father was a conductor and I still remember the bombastic sound of the orchestra, to the many bows, which were always simultaneously in the same direction. I thought that was wonderful! However, I was surprised at the sombre atmosphere during the concerts. All of them made such a serious face, no one was allowed to clear his throat, let alone laugh. And that even though this music as much joy went out! "
"The waltz drew me so much under his spell that he, several years later to speak to my pace of life has been a musician living in three-quarter. Now I am playing today with my own orchestra much more than just waltz. My dream is to make all sorts of classical music accessible to a wide audience. "
This concert has not been announced but the information comes from a reliable source on Facebook that fans already have tickets.
