taken by the Government of the Netherlands, our traditional Open Air Concerts on the

Currently a few fake Rieus are misleading the fans on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest.
Be sure that the real André Rieu never writes messages to fans on Facebook, via PM or otherwise.
He’ll never ask for money or whatever. He has no adopted son, he does not announce concerts or
Meet and Greets on Facebook. The right information can be found on his official website:
www.andrerieu.com.
So please report and block these fake persons. Instructions (from André’s Facebook page) how to
do that, click HERE.

Have you ever seen André’s
Press Info Page?
As far as we can see, it was
written in 2010, since he writes
about his marriage of 35 year, and
we know that he married Marjorie
in 1975. He started the Maastricht
Salon Orchestra in 1978 and the
Johann Strauss Orchestra in
1987.
