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. Together they 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. For his work, Rieu has been awarded such honours as the Order of the Netherlands Lion by the Netherlands, the Knight of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by France, and the Honorary Medal by his native Province of Limburg.
Rieu began studying violin at the age of five. He created the Maastricht Salon Orchestra in 1978, and went on to create the Johann Strauss Orchestra in 1988.
The name Rieu is of French Huguenot origin. Rieu's father, of the same name, was conductor of the Maastricht Symphony Orchestra. Showing early promise, André began studying violin at the age of five. From a very young 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, finally receiving his degree "Premier Prix" from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

Klassik. Bei diesem Wort wird der gemeine Rock- und Popkonsument des öfteren die
Hände vor das Gesicht schlagen und sich desinteressiert abwenden. André Rieu ist
jedoch einer, der es sich auf die Fahnen geschrieben hat, die klassische Musik dem
"Normalbürger" näher zu bringen. Wenn Rieu mit seinem Orchester auf der
Bühne steht und das ausverkaufte Auditorium lauscht, so können die Besucher sicher
sein, einen unvergesslichen Abend zu erleben. Sein Credo ist es, mit den Besuchern
seiner Konzerte zu kommunizieren. Es gefällt ihm, das etwas angestaubte Image der
Klassik um eine volksnahe Facette zu bereichern. Kleine Späßchen erhalten die
Freundschaft und so klamaukt sich Rieu und mit ihm das Orchester durchs Programm,
das Langeweile von vorneherein nicht aufkommen kann.Rieu ist gebürtiger
Niederländer, stammt aus einer Musikerfamilie und wuchs mit Opern, Sinfonien und
Kammermusik auf. Sein Vater war bereits Chef der Leipziger Oper, seine Geschwister
sind ebenfalls herausragende Musiker, so lag es nahe, dass auch André sich der
klassischen Musik verschrieb. Sein Instrument ist die Geige und ihr Spiel studierte
er in den Niederlanden bei Herman Krebbers, wo er im Jahr 1977 die Abschlussprüfung
mit Auszeichnung bestand. Zu seiner Studienzeit entdeckte er auch seine Liebe zum
Dreivierteltakt, als er einmal gebeten wurde, in einem Salonensemble mitzuspielen.
Das war die Initialzündung für die Karriere des André Rieu, denn von diesem
Zeitpunkt an vertiefte er sich in die Werke von Johann Strauß und Franz Léhar. Dabei
fand er heraus, dass sich die Musik dieser Komponisten durch eine extreme Volksnähe
auszeichnete. Walzer wurden dort gespielt, wo die Party abging, bei Bällen und in
Festsälen, und bei diesen Happenings war es ganz selbstverständlich, dass das
Publikum mitklatschte und sich der Musik und des Lebens erfreute. Genau diese
Lebensfreude wollte Rieu der Klassik zurück geben und traf damit den Geschmack des
Publikums zu hundert Prozent.Sein Orchester tauft er - als Tribut an den großen
Meister des Dreivierteltaktes - Johann Strauß Orchester und mit diesem geht er immer
wieder auf Tour, um den Klassik-Rave abzufeiern. Mit der Platte "Strauß &
Co." landet er 1995 einen Knaller, den so wohl kaum jemand erwartet hatte. Die
Scheibe steigt bis in die Top fünf der deutschen Verkaufscharts, hält sich
monatelang in den Bestenlisten, landet in der Jahresendabrechnung auf einem
erstaunlichen 18. Platz und hat schon längst die Platinmarke von (damals) 500.000
verkauften Scheiben überschritten.Das ist aber erst der Anfang. Jede seiner Platten
gerät zum Top-Seller und seine Konzerte zum Happening. Der Maestro ist sehr
produktiv und findet zwischen seinen Konzertreisen immer wieder Zeit, die stetig
größer werdende Fanschar mit neuen Outputs zu verwöhnen. Diese danken es ihm und
stürmen die Ticketbuden, bis kein einziges Billet mehr vorrätig ist.Sein
Erscheinungsbild tut das übrige, um die Erfolgsstory abzurunden. Sein gewinnendes
Lächeln und die langen, wehenden Haare sind der Schwiegermutter Traum. Aber nicht
nur Schwiegermütter stehen auf ihn, denn mit dieser Spezies allein bekommt man nicht
die Berliner Waldbühne voll. Von jenem Konzert veröffentlicht Rieu rechtzeitig zum
Muttertag 2001 eine prallgefüllte DVD mit Konzertaufnahmen und jeder Menge Extras.
