PHOTOS FROM GRAND MAESTRO RIEU'S SHOWS AROUND THE WORLD

 

 

From Suellen S.: My mother, who is 88, myself(56), a friend(46) and her niece, who is 5 went to the concert together and had a wonderful time. I guess that all of us had a great time is testament to the fact that this music is universal. It makes not difference the age, nationality, gender, or financial status. Everyone can find something to appeal to them. Andre is so gracious and has such charisma that you can't help but enjoy him. I am amazed at the amount of energy displayed by all of the orchestra members. I particularly enjoyed the "Tea for Two" dance number by the male orchestra members, and also the rendition of "The Rose". This number left me in tears. In this day of here today and gone tomorrow performers it is refreshing to see someone who obviously respects the music he performs and puts it first, allowing his fame to come from the performances, not from outlandish and crude behavior. He is proving that music is a universal language, since the best music moves us emotionally. Bravo, Bravo to a really class act!!
