COMPETITION André Rieu tickets, 2011

COMPETITION André Rieu tickets, 2011

Andre Rieu, Dutch violinist, conductor and 'King of the Walz' triumphantly returns to South Africa in March 2011 with his Johan Strauss Orchestra for concerts in Cape Town, Sun City and Durban. 

Rieu has sold over 30 million albums globally, and has broken all classical concert records, packing stadiums with over 700,000 fans each year. He played to sold out houses on his South African visit earlier this year. 

Even before the start of the 2010 tour, Rieu's DVD sales in South Africa reached multi platinum status, something very few international artists have ever achieved. Multi platinum is fifteen times platinum, equating to sales of 300 000 plus DVDs. Acknowledging this achievement, Universal Records presented him with a special award at one of his sold out Sun City concerts. 

Rieu, whose father was the conductor of a symphony orchestra, was fascinated by the world of music from a young age. He remembers a house filled with music, where all six siblings played an instrument. He also remember his astonishment at the solemn and often somber atmosphere at most classical music concerts. 

In his own words: "You know that solemn atmosphere you find in the concert hall with classical music, and how it intimidates most people and keeps them away? With us, it is simply not there. My orchestra consists of young, enthusiastic musicians, who put their heart and soul into the music every evening when they play in our concerts." 

"At one of our concerts you'll see me and the orchestra, and the audience too, all having a lot of fun together. Swaying with the music, humming along, clapping, jumping up and down - it all happens! Every evening is a wonderful experience, and in my view there couldn't be a greater pleasure for a musician." 

André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra will kick off their South African tour in Cape Town, with concerts scheduled at the Grand Arena, Grandwest on 11 and 12 March 2011. Then it's on to the Sun City Superbowl on 18 and 19 March and the Durban International Convention Centre on 23 March. 

André Rieu’s Live Tour to South Africa is presented by DSTV and Hunta Live.
