This fan photo show is a tribute to Alli (a German fan), who suddenly passed away hardly two weeks after
she had attended (with her best friend Gisela) the Maastricht concert and fan picnic. We wish her family and
Gisela lots of strength to bear the loss. Our thoughts are with you. Gisela gave us permission to add two
photos of Alli to this show.
Referring to the wishes of fans, Ineke selected three of her favourite violin classics by André: Meditation,
Gadfly, and Im Chambre Séparée. Enjoy!
This is an impression of the spectacular laser lights, colors, smoke, confetti and fireworks, André presented
to us during his Maastricht 2012 concerts. It was breathtaking and we were able to take pictures from under
and above the laser lights. We also thank our fan friends who allowed us to use their best pictures in our
slide show.
On June 28th 2012, about twenty André Rieu fans travelled by train to Hoorn, as a day trip from Maastricht.
They visited the historical cheese market and the original Red Rose Café.
Father Abraham (Pierre Kartner), the composer of this word famous song, had been the guest in André's
encores, so the fans were in the mood to enjoy the trip and the café. They tried typical Dutch food and had
an unforgettable day. The owner of Bee's mysterious yellow car (which had appeared on all Hoorn photos
over several years!), made her day!
Music mix by Ruud:
Sung by: Father Abraham (Dutch), Engelbert Humperdink (English), Mireille Matthieu (French), Peter
Alexander (German).
Instrumental: Dutch Street Organ, André and Johann Strauss Orchestra.
For the people who want to sing along in Dutch is here the refrain:
Daar in dat kleine café aan de haven,
daar zijn de mensen gelijk en tevree.
Daar in dat kleine café aan de haven,
Daar telt je geld, of wie je bent, niet meer mee.
We received a link to Adele's fan photo show: More wonderful memories!!
With the 2012 concerts André celebrated the 25th birthday of the Johann Strauss Orchestra.
