Hi Bill, I guess you know I am going to Reading. Is anyone else going? Would love to meet you somewhere before the concert. Anyone going can email me at weathergirl052@comcast.net
Hugs
That would be very interesting indeed, to have Andre Rieu and Celine Dion in the same concert hall. That's one I would love to attend.
Haaaaaaaaaaa, Céline Dion, I hope not, I do not care for her at all!, but we shall see, they are still selling tickets here , of course the best seats went to PBS. We are in the first row, but on the right site, prefere middle. Only 11 days to the concert, Inge
Hi Inge (miss emailing with you, I have GOT to get my emails working next weekend. this new server business is difficult.)
Bill is a dreamer! I bet his teachers used to have to get after him for day dreaming in class.
While I don't mind Céline Dion, she tends to yell a lot. Céline is stuck in Vegas for the next few years so we know she will be busy.
Now the JSO member Celine would be a welcome addition. She has a lovely voice.
I am surprisingly but joyously may be attending the Reading concert also. Andre is so infectious that I'll be glad to get my fix, I'm so looking forward to go. It will be good to take a closer look a second time to see if I missed anything the first time.
Hi Martha S. I sure hope you get to Reading. If so, would you like to meet either for dinner or just a talking session? I love to meet Andre's fans. Email me.
Hugs
Hi Jeanine!
Thank you for the invitation to dinner and I would be estactily happy to meet you for dinner and talk "Andre". I will have a male friend with me because he's the one that's driving and we're coming from Washington DC. It's a 3 hour ride but please email me so we can work out the logistics. My email: mar2singer@yahoo.com - looking forward to hearing from you.

I have not seen a new cellist, Bill, just seen, one is not there! Kati
I will be in the Manchester concert. Also Toronto in December. I am in the sixth row, center. Would like to meet anyone who is there. Let me know.
Hi Virginia, There will be a lot of us at Toronto so keep in touch via this site. We are in 12th row. I feel pretty sure there will be some kind of fan dinner before the concert, at least I hope so. Will not be in Manchester but hopefully someone who is going will get in touch. Take care and keep posting. Hugs
Virginia - by any chance are you coming down for the Reading concert?
Hi Jeanine Ann & Virginia,
I will be in Toronto also for the 15th show but planning on going to the show on the 14th as well. The show on the 15th I'm seated in section A row 28 forgot seat# but will check.
My wife and I and two of our friends will be in Toronto for the concert on the 14th. If you know of any fan event, please let me know. We are in A3, row 26, seats 15 and 16. We are staying two nights - the 13th and 14th at the Renaissance Marriott in the Rogers Center. Would love to meet you and some other fans!
Hi Bruce, I will be at the performance on the 14th, Section 4, row 7, Seat 13. I am coming alone because of the time of year, right before Christmas where everyone has a lot going on. I also am staying at the Renaissance for the 13th and 14th.
I can't keep up with all the notes. I see some of you asked me about concerts in May and I never saw the messages. To Jeanine Ann, Marilyn, Sue, etc. etc. Toronto on the 14th Section 4, sixth row, seat 13. Hope we do something before or after. I am not going to the concert on the 15th, have to get back. Will be at the Renaissance the 13th and 14th. Hope there is a good photographer there.
fyi: I am not sure I understand this, but it does appear there will be a LIVE presentation of Andre's May 13 concert on the internet. Check out this site and follow the instruction. I have not done this previously so please read everything and be sure it is what it says.

Thanks Joanne: This is very good information. I did not see much info on the site either, but it does look as if they are going to do a live web-cast. I'm going to have to check it out, see just what it is and how it works.
~Sally~
Hi Sally, I cannot figure this out but the physical site of the concert is timesunioncenter
I could not find any clarification for site of streaming video. It is my thinking--like you--that we will receive an email OR go to andrerieulive tomorrow at the appropriate time.
If you find out when and where, please send email in all caps...I feel rather lost. Thanks..your site is great!!!
I will post some concert photos, and let the Wonderful People who sent them, post under the photo to tell us about them.

Here is a very nice review of Andre's concert on 22 May
http://www.dailysouthtown.com/entertainment/397716,rieu523.article
We were at Manchester. Andre had a cold, some of the orchestra also. We always like it, but this was not one of the best. Mirusia was new and has a powerful voice. All else was old hat. Doesn't mean I wouldn't have gone. Orchestra was quite small. Had a chance to talk with Hungarian tenor. Venue not in nice area. Looking forward to Toronto. The specials are the best. 12/14 Seat 13 sixth row. Jet and Lin not there. Two new violinists. Let's ask Andre site to update the Orchestra page!
I attended the Cleveland last nite and was surprised there was a larger audience than last year. It was awesome. Carmen,Suzan,Mariusa are just so talented. The Platin Tenors were great. We were so happy to hear Bolero. Andre gave us quite a few encores until 10:40,then we got Brahm's Lullaby.Our drive home all we could talk about was the concert and Andre. My daughter took a slew of photos, she is having computer problems,as soon as she can she will email them to me. If you are interested in any, I will send them on, when I receive them. Best Wishes.
Dorothy: I am so glad you had a great time. Do send your photos. Everyone would love to see them. It will make us feel as if we were there with you.
Photos......Photos......Photos
We all want to see all the photos
Hi Everyone, I have Dorothy's photos and will upload them. I just didn't have time before I flew out to Milwaukee.
I also saw Andre in Cleveland -- for the 1st time. He was outstanding! I live in So. California. I understand that he will be here in December and I plan on seeing him again! I took some great photos!!
Wonderful ! If you would like to write about the concert and send the photos, I will create a page and upload them.
Sally@AndreRieuFans.com
Please email the photos to webmistress, ....sally@andrerieufans.com
so we call all enjoy them
Where in So.Cal. do you live? I'm in Studio City. Yes Andre is suppose to be here Dec. 4th. Now it's says Los Angeles but I think it's really Anaheim, Orange County.
In Light and Love!!
Hello Fans & Friends:
Tomorrow after I've rested (Trudy wore me out!! We did so many interesting things!) I will put up a story and photos. Here is a photo preview.
Which one is Mario, I recognize Dan, the Banner Man....is that Trudy?
Love those buses! Trudy, I hear you kept Sally busy!
Ms Trudy, you certainly look great, nobody would know your age unless you told! It must be Andre that keeps you looking so lively.
I think it is ladies like Trudy, that keeps Andre so lively

My companion and I live in L.A. and paid $500 for tickets to AR's LA concert in 2007. We didn't get to attend the concert because other concert/sports venues were in full attendence and the ensuing gridlock, lack of parking made us turn around to return home. We started out 3 hours prior, but NEVER AGAIN....KOCE (sponsors).
Stanley, I am sorry to hear of such traffic woes.
I wish you would have gone anyway. You could have entered the venue during the break. And enjoyed any of the first half from the lobby area if you would have arrived anytime while the Orchestra was still playing.
Perhaps this year you can purchase tickets from ticketmaster and stay at a hotel near the venue, and just walk over?
I've done that a few times. In Dallas we go early, Lawrence & Pauline put on a tailgate party. In MO we stayed at the hotel across the street from the venue. (so did the JSO).
No matter where you stay, or where your ticket are from and the seating at...it's a good time. I hope you can enjoy a concert soon.
Check out our 2009 Tour, Now is the time to make plans.
