A Surprise For The Andre Rieu Maastricht Concerts
MAASTRICHT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
The South Africa two-time Grammy Award winning gospel group, the Soweto Gospel Choir and the Harlem Gospel Choir will perform simultaneously in Maastricht. As if winning Grammy Awards was not enough, the Soweto Gospel Choir also scooped another international accolade at the 32nd Annual Sports Emmy Awards in New York. The choir has performed for the Queen and alongside U2, Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.
The Soweto Gospel Choir was formed in 2002 to celebrate the unique and spiritual power of African Gospel Music. The choir portrays their unique African energy and vibrancy, for which they have become known the world over. The audiences in Maastricht can expect earthly rhythms, rich harmonies and acapella numbers. Add to this, energetic dancing and vibrant, colorful costumes, and the mix is awesome. This magnificent 52 strong choir, styled with contemporary feel, together with the Harlem Gospel Choir, will leave the audience in Maastricht stunned with emotion. Maastricht will never be the same again!

Along with the Soweto Gospel Choir will be America's own Harlem Gospel Choir. You will of course remember them from André's "Live In New York" concert.
Another surprise for Maastricht will be the appearance of Sir Anthony Hopkins with the debut of his composition "And The Waltz Goes On". This will also be the title of Andre's new CD which will be released sometime this Autumn and will also include a composition by André and Frank Steijns.
With the appearance of the two Gospel Choirs and Sir Anthony Hopkins this years concerts will prove to be most exciting!

Hi Bev,
That is a given. They will definitely perform here in South Africa in 2012. We will be attending the concert in the Coca-cola Dome. I so wish we could meet, we must arrange something one day!
Hugs: Deirdre

Andre,
We hebben elkaar ontmoet lang geleden toen je nog studeerde in Maastricht en ik in geleen. Je vader was dirigent van the MSO. Nu wonen we in Adelaide en hebben de eerste and derde concert in Aus gemist.Nu komen we de 17 julie van Adelaide naar Maastricht en willen ditmaal niet missen.
Bestel goed weer.
groeten Hedy en John Woortman

This is the rather long link for the Apartment with one room still available but looks like you have to stay 2 nights and maybe you don't want to do that. Anyway glad you have managed to find somewhere xxx
