Few men are as welcome wherever they go as is André Rieu. With quiet dignity he awakens our souls and instantly answers the time-honored question: Who am I? He leaves no doubts about who he is, what, when, where, or why. From modest beginnings, he came, he saw, and he created a traveling entertainment center that is much larger than the sum of its parts. He brings his best while also bringing out the best in us. He fills the stage with talent, while he fills our lives with moments to remember. He is more than a man for all seasons, he is...

A Man for All Reasons

You reach a little higher last a little longer
Find a little more depth and leave a little stronger
You soothe our cares like nobody can
With such flourish and flair we all understand.

André André whether you are taking us
down the Beautiful Danube
Or Raising us Up you do it with such
Dignity and grace
Even your Waltzes go On and On-
Hallelujah brother you
found your place.

And when Carmen Monarcha
Sings Habanera
O those Spanish Eyes
Leave us with no cares
She has the fare
From Granada to Rio and even
to Bolero!

As you travel the world over
We gladly pay the bills
Or you can pay them Frank’s way
We’ll take home the thrills.

From Waltzing Matilda
to I will follow Him
You Heal the World
with your music;
So let the waltzing dancers begin
And Our Hearts Will Go On with them.

We never heard you say it or play it but
Thanks for the music and thanks for the smiles
and thanks for each golden moment filled with
Unforgettable memories.
If life has a mission
You accomplished yours in grand style.

You Raise Me Up

I heartily agree! His music lifts us out of ourselves and all the
cares of the world are distanced…we are free to dream and
savour and enjoy…
Plus I love his endearing smile and twinkling eyes…

This is a beautiful ode to a man I, too, enjoy immensely. I'm sorry, but I don't regard much of what passes as music and showmanship today to be in the same league as Mr. Rieu. He is a welcome classic in the world's repertoire.
