KING OF WALTZ ANDRE RIEU AT GRANDWEST WITH GUESTS THE SOWETO GOSPEL CHOIR
24 Aug, 2012
Over 100,000 South African fans have attended Andre Rieu’s sold-out tours over the past two years but the King of Waltz remains as popular as ever and returns to the country to perform at the GrandWest Grand Arena with equally popular guest stars The Soweto Gospel Choir, on Thursday 23 August 2012.
Thousands more fans will be able to experience the unique magic that they have come to expect from Rieu’s DVDs and TV-specials, the maestro conducting his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra and playing his world-famous Stradivarius violin to create a celebratory atmosphere, where fans are encouraged to get out of their seats and waltz in the aisles.
Rieu’s return will be marked with the ultimate collaboration to date when he, his orchestra and guest performers will be joined on stage by the multi-award winning Soweto Gospel Choir. With an Emmy, two Grammys, three ‘associated ‘Grammys, three SAMAS and one Oscar nomination, The Choir is the perfect addition to create the most magical South African concert to date.
The Soweto Gospel Choir is thrilled to be performing with André Rieu. This year, they were honoured to be invited to The Netherlands to join André on stage together with the Harlem Gospel Choir, as well as for his South African concerts.
André Rieu is one of the best-selling live acts in the world. He has sold more than 30 million albums globally, and has broken all classical concert records, packing stadiums and arenas with more than 700,000 adoring fans each year. Fans can expect a colourful concert with beautiful melodies, waltzes, surprises, tenors, sopranos and lots of audience interaction.
