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 10 million fans, while sales of his albums have now topped the 40 million mark.
Andre is also the creator of the 60-piece 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!
The concert also features 16-year-old Dutch singer Emma Kok, whose performance of Voilà with André last year went viral, amassing more than 47 million views on YouTube.
