Kent: Violinist Andre Rieu's annual Maastricht concert to be live screened in cinemas

By Lily Lowe

World famous violinist André Rieu's annual Maastricht concert will be screened live in cinemas across the county - and he's hoping to get people dancing in the aisles.

The concert Amore - My Tribute to Love, is a tribute to his love for music and his family. It follows the release of his album of the same name last year which included a wide variety of timeless love songs from both classical and popular music.

André said: "I always try to give people something for the eye as well so I am very proud and happy about the popularity of my concerts on the big screen.

"I heard messages from abroad that people were dancing in the aisles of the cinemas."

He added: "I will be playing all kinds of pieces during the concert; wonderful waltzes will be heard but also outstanding arias from famous operas and beloved melodies from movies and musicals."

The concert, which will take place on the last weekend of July, will be performed in André's hometown Maastricht in the Netherlands.

Set against the backdrop of the medieval town square, fans from the UK will be able to see the show live without leaving the comfort of their local cinema.

Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins will host the concert screening, providing the audience with behind the scenes extras and exclusive interviews from fans and André himself.
