André Léon Marie Nicolas Rieu (born 1 October
1949) is a Dutch violinist and
conductor best known for creating the waltz-playing Johann
Strauss Orchestra.
He and his orchestra have turned classical
and waltz music into a worldwide concert touring act, as successful as some of
the biggest global pop and rock music acts. He resides in his native Maastricht.
The name Rieu is of French Huguenot origin. André
was born to Andries Antonie Rieu and is the third of six children. He has two
older sisters (Teresia and Cilia), two younger brothers (Robert and
Jean-Philippe), and a younger sister (Gaby Buirma-Rieu).
Rieu's father was conductor of the Maastricht
Symphony Orchestra. Showing early promise, André
began studying violin at the age of five. From a very early age, he developed a
fascination with orchestra. He studied violin at the Conservatoire
Royal in Liège and at the Conservatorium
Maastricht, (1968–1973), studying under Jo
Juda and Herman Krebbers.
From 1974 to 1977, he attended the Music
Academy in Brussels,
studying with André Gertler. He
completed his training with the distinction "Premier Prix" from the Royal
Conservatory of Brussels.
He married Marjorie Kochmann in 1975. She has
been a language teacher and has written compositions. They have two sons, Marc
and Pierre.
He speaks six languages: Dutch, English,
