Often referred to as the King of Waltz, Andre Rieu is a superstar violinist whose YouTube videos have been viewed in excess of one billion times. His Facebook account, meanwhile, is followed by nine million fans, while sales of his albums have now topped the 40 million mark.
Andre is also the creator of the waltz-playing Johann Strauss Orchestra, which he conducts using his violin bow, mimicking the famous characteristics of Strauss himself. His concerts are well known for inspiring audience members to leave their seats and dance in the aisles, an activity which counts as something of a phenomenon at a classical music gig! This springtime return to Birmingham comes as part of a tour to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Strauss’ birth.
