Have you ever attended an Andre Rieu concert? A popular sensation in the music industry, Andre is a leading artist, famous as the King of Waltz and the King of Romance.
André Rieu runs a private orchestra, which he finds to be immense fun. He established it over 25 years ago, and since then, he has had most of his team. Previously, André Rieu was part of a classical orchestra. During his days there, he realized that most of them cared about money or the next holiday, and no one was focused on creating better music. He shared this with his wife, and told her that he wanted his own orchestra. His wife encouraged him and promised him to help him raise funds. And so they established what has now become the biggest orchestra in the musical world.
During an interview, André Rieu said that he mostly did covers, and composed from time to time. He said that most pieces he played were existing numbers. But he does make new arrangements for his orchestral.
André Rieu sells records to fund his orchestra. He has a relationship with Universal Studios for around 20 years, and they sell on his behalf. He has sold over 40 million CDs and DVDs, so that is quite an achievement. André Rieu records the summer concerts that are hosted in Maastricht at the big square. These are then edited at his studio, and given to Universal.
Andre Rieu lives with his wife in his hometown. He has two married sons and five grandchildren.
