In an age of dwindling exposure for classical music on television and sliding album sales, Andre Rieu's evolution in North America in the last three years has been nothing short of remarkable. His musical spectaculars, whether filmed in the sublime landscapes of Tuscany or the lush Dublin countryside, have touched a legion of fans worldwide and have earned the multi-talented conductor, composer and violinist a reputation as a musician and entertainer unparalleled.

Also known as 'The Waltz King of Europe,' the Dutch born violinist consistently reaches the top tiers of the classical charts since his first recording and has recently seen all of his Denon Classics releases become best-sellers, each reaching within the top five of Billboard's prestigious Classical charts. With his Holland-based orchestra, Andre Rieu has electrified audiences worldwide with his unique musical vision, blending classical and pop elements, rhythm and dance into a charismatic event. It's a vision that has solidified Rieu's reputation as one of the premier live performers.

Says Steve Vining, President of the Savoy Label Group: "It's great to work with an artist like Andre because his profile just keeps getting bigger and better with every project and with every tour. It will be exciting for us to reach out to new fans on this tour and to know that his next project in the Fall will be his biggest yet!"
