“The Vrijthof is a very special place for me. I grew up in Maastricht, my heart beats here,” says André Rieu. “These concerts are a great celebration every year – for my city, for my orchestra and for fans from all over the world. I’m really looking forward to sharing unforgettable evenings full of music and joy with you in cinemas around the world!”
