** Andre Rieu Postage Stamps are now available in his Boutique!
(September 2009)
This year is the 30th anniversary of André’s stage debut – hence TNT Post’s decision to dedicate a special series of stamps to him. Working together with a Dutch charity whose name translates as ‘The biggest family in the Netherlands will help!’ they designed a beautiful booklet featuring photos of André, his biography and nine new postage stamps with his picture. The extra proceeds will go to good causes.

Andre Rieu is now honored with its own stamps. He received the stamps from the hands of Ger Jacobs, Commercial Director of TNT Post. "I am very proud of my stamps. I see it as an honor and one of the highlights in my 30-year career and hope that as many of these stamps is given as my music," says Andre Rieu.
The presentation took place at the Vrijthof just before the start of the fifth open-air concert in Maastricht by André Rieu and his Johan Strauss Orchestra as part of his jubilee concert tour.
The stamp booklet was created in cooperation with the Largest Family Foundation Helps! Each stamp booklet sold is 5 Euro to this foundation which small-scale initiatives of importance to society, both in the Netherlands and abroad, financial support.

much respected great musician and honored 'Andre'. IN 1973 WHEN THE OLD JOHANN STRAUS ORCHESTRA PLAYED IN MY HOMETOWN, RICHMOND, VA., I BUMPED INTO STEFAN PUNZI, VIOLINIST WITH THE JSO AND WE BECAME IMMEDIATE FRIENDS. HE TOLD ME OF THE "YOUNG VIOLINIST "SOMEDAY THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW!!!" YES, HE SAID 'ANDRE RIEU!"
WE KEPT IN TOUCH FOR YEARS UNTIL HE DIED IN VIENNA. HE LETTERS ADDRESSED ME AS "DEAR SOROR..." AND SIGNED HIMSELF AS "YOUR FRATE..." HE SAID MANY GOOD THINGS OF YOU LIKE "SOMEDAY THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW OF ANDRE RIEU!! MY FRIENDS AND I GET TOGETHER ONCE A WEEK TO SHOW ANDRE RIEU DVDS AND WE HAVE SUCH A HAPPY TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DEAR ANDRE!!!!!
Congratulations, Andre!
I have no doubt, Mercedes will some day name a car model in your honor.
I think this is a great idea. To make them available to everyone! I'm sure the orders will pour in & it will help the cause at the same time.
