Make a date this New Year with a world famous violinist.

Andre Rieu is set to perform a New Year concert for the first time in Sydney this year - and you could watch it here in Kent.

His annual Maastricht concerts attract thousands: about 120,000 people live in the city, but that number doubles as crowds pour in to see the spectacle each summer.

This year he will stage the New Year concert which will be shown on the big screen on Saturday, January 5 and Sunday, January 6, 2019.

It was recorded at Sydney’s Town Hall. Andre said of the concert first: “I am absolutely delighted to be bringing my first ever New Year’s concert to cinemas.

"To perform at the historic Sydney Town Hall was a real thrill, and I can’t wait to share the concert with audiences around the world. We have lots of surprises so look forward to sharing on the night!”

He will be joined by his Johann Strauss Orchestra, with whom he has performed for more than 30 years and 160 dancers and singers, filmed in HD for the big screen with 18 cameras.

Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins will present the show. To find a showing near you in Kent, on Saturday, January 5, and Sunday, January 6, visit andreincinemas.com
