André Rieu Brings his Spectacular Production to Denmark

MAASTRICHT, The Netherlands, February 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Following the postponement of his 2010 tour due to viral infection of the
vestibular nerve that left him unable to carry out his tour commitments,
André Rieu has now fully recovered and is currently on an incredible world
tour. André Rieu, the Dutch violinist and conductor brings his spectacular
production to Denmark. Traveling through the United States, Canada, Europe,
Australia, Mexico and South Africa, Rieu will visit Aalborg on Tuesday 1
March.

At last, adoring fans across Denmark can see for themselves just why
André Rieu is a musical phenomenon again. André Rieu and his touring
production is unlike anything else in the entertainment world. Music fans can
expect the experience of a lifetime when they attend the only classical
concerts (http://www.andrerieu.com/en/calendar) where the audience jump to
their feet and dance in the aisles.

Fully recovered from his illness, Andre said: "I am so excited to be back
on stage, doing what I love most, playing beautiful music, together with my
orchestra, for all my fans! Thank you all for your support and love, it has
been the best medicine for my recovery! See you in March!"

The stunning costumes and elaborate stage-sets add to the romantic and
festive atmosphere Rieu creates. Conducting the Johann Strauss Orchestra with
his violin bow - just like the composer himself - Rieu's onstage charisma and
rock-star demeanour make his live shows simply irresistible. Tickets for
Rieu's concert are now available at http://www.akkc.dk.

BIOGRAPHY

Encouraged by his father, a symphony conductor, Rieu began violin lessons
at the age of five. Rieu's training eventually brought him to the Royal
Conservatory of Brussels where he was awarded the Premier Prix. In 1978, he
formed the Johann Strauss Orchestra, which has grown from twelve to nearly
fifty members. André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra now perform in
Australia, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, the US, and across Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Following in the footsteps of Johann Strauss himself, he encourages his
audiences to get out of their seats and waltz in the aisles.
