Andre Rieu in Maastricht. Well worth a visit.

[OnDoutside]

2am here in Maastricht, and just returned to my room after a night of Andre Rieu in concert. If you have the money and time, I would seriously recommend coming over. He has 3 weeks of concerts in Maastricht, his home town, and the set up is outstanding. YouTube it.

1. I love is his shows

I'd love to see one live

2. Andre Rieu.. the Kenny G of the violin..

Sorry, sorry, I am really a classical snob.



Enjoy it...




PS.. Oddly enough I actually AM going to Portugal in 2 weeks from the Rochester NY area to hear a violinist,..

6. I completely understand ! The positive from a music lover's

POV, is that he in many cases introduces classical music to so many more people, and that can only be a good thing. I brought my 11 year old kid, who loved it. Next stop will be a light opera for him.

The occasion as well, in his home town of Maastricht, is special, plus last night he had a special guest.... Knightrider.....oh and the Hoff too !!!

8. The first classical music I ever saw/heard live was Petrushka and Mahler 7 on the same concert

N Y Phil--- I was about 11.

I was hooked...

11. I'm a classical snob too

But Andre Rieu is happy music. It's OK to both despise it and enjoy it simultaneously.

3. Had an amazing pilsner in Maastricht once

4. I have many of his CD's and DVD's

... but I never got to attend one of his concerts.

I don't think he performs in America very often, so not many chances to see him here.
Sounds like it was a wonderful concert!

7. We don't let him come to the US.

5. Would love to see him in concert!

9. 2017 world tour; 12 dates in u.s.

10. OK I just looked up his concert schedule

Thanks for the heads-up! Most of his concert dates are on the West Coast in October and November.
Also he has 3 shows scheduled in Florida in November.

Unfortunately this doesn't help me because I'm in Pittsburgh. I would have been able to come to New York but he has nothing booked in New York (or anywhere near me.)

12. We don't allow him in NYS...
