Concerts & Live Music

Andre Rieu is the man who has started a revival in the waltz genre and has made classical music more approachable and accessible to all. Rieu is primarily a violinist but his work in the classical and waltz genres has made him an important name in the music field today, as he has single-handedly injected life into two forms of music that usually wore the stamp of ‘Members Only’.

Rieu was born into a musical family and began playing the violin when he was five. It was at this early age that he also developed a fascination for the orchestra. After studying under such great teachers as Andre Gertler, Jo Judda and Herman Krebbers, Rieu seemed set for a life of classical music- he even won the Premier Prix at his academy.

What would change his life was when he played the waltz ‘Gold and Silver’ at University- the way he felt while playing and the reaction it produced were so overwhelming that Rieu knew he had found his calling. In 1987 he formed the Johann Strauss Orchestra, which began with only twelve members and now has over forty. As they toured the world, an international revival of waltz music took place, earning Rieu the title of King of the Waltz.
