André Rieu on Tour
André Rieu is nothing short of a cosmopolitan treasure. The Dutch violinist has dedicated his life to spreading the joy of the waltz to fans across the world. Since starting the Johann Strauss Orchestra in the late ‘80s, he's taken his dynamic ensemble — which numbers around 60 — everywhere from Europe and Asia to the Americas and Australia. Almost every year, the orchestra lands on Billboard's list of Top 25 tours, with Rieu recognized by the publication in 2009 as the most successful male touring artist in the world. Yearly, his group performs between 70 and 100 shows worldwide. Rieu has become famous for his energetic stage presence and thrilling repertoire. Often playing on the violin from the conductor's podium and leading his orchestra at the same time, engaging the audience in his dramatic and buoyant readings of well-known tunes, Rieu is as close to a rock star as one can get in the classical world.
André Rieu in Concert
Rieu was born in Maastricht, Netherlands, in 1949 to a father who was the conductor of the Maastricht Symphony Orchestra. So a life in music came naturally. He began studying the violin at age 5, eventually training at conservatories in Liège, Maastricht and Brussels. During his studies, he became obsessed with the waltz as he recognized how thoroughly the Viennese form gripped audiences when played from a stage. After a number of performance posts, including with the Limburg Symphony Orchestra, Rieu created the Johann Strauss Orchestra in 1987. The group would be dedicated primarily to performing waltzes the world over. With his orchestra, Rieu has not only toured but released live DVDs and CDs, many of which have gone platinum, and he's responsible for the beloved annual New Year's concerts in Vienna, the birthplace of Strauss and the home of the waltz.

LOVE IT CLASSIC MUSIC SPECIFICALLY GOSPEL PART AMAZING FANTASTIC RUIE
Great music, light comedy, heaps of personality and talent. The Schot was a wonderful venue.
Loved the first half - wonderful music and stunning gowns and background effects. Second half featured gospel- not what we expected at Andre Riley concerts.
Andre Rieu and his regular group were as awesome as usual. This was my second in person concert and I hope I will be able to attend future concerts. There was, however, one element of the concert that was disappointing. I believe they called it the Gospel Chorus. While they were talented at what they do, there performance did not really fit the typical Andre Rieu format. There performance was way too long and rather annoying. If this is the type of performers that will be added to future concerts, I would have second thoughts about attending. Also, the floor seating was very uncomfortable. The chairs were very narrow and if you end up sitting next to a larger person you barely have room to sit.
It was so very special to see Andre Reiu and his magnificent orchestra in Ottawa. Our dream is to see him in his European castle. It is a memory we will treasure.
It could have been a great evening, Gospel music didn't fit in with Johan Strauss Orchestra..
The acoustics are not the best at Bell. Given the type of show, I believe it was better to leave larger spaces for dancing. I expected also more classic music, but I was very happy with Ravel, Verdi and Strauss.
Andre Rieu is just fantastic with his band, they did 7 recall to please the audience. The whole concert was amazing.Bravo
The program met my expectations and I was very pleased with it except The Gospel portion was far too long and too loud. I would have given it 5 stars except for this downside.
