André Rieu to Perform at The Classical BRIT Awards

The UK’s recorded music association, The BPI, today announced that The Classical BRIT Awards 2010 with NS&I will honour one of the most loved sopranos of the past century, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Taking place at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday May 13, 2010, the 11th Annual Classical BRIT Awards with NS&I will be a glamorous and spectacular night of music, a tradition that started back in 2000. Joining a custom set by previous Lifetime Achievement Award recipients including Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Vernon Handley, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa will bring the evening to its climax with a very special and memorable performance.

Another Highlight of the night will come from ANDRÉ RIEU who has just celebrated chart success with ‘Forever Vienna’, which entered the charts at number two this week. This and other performances, yet to be announced, will be broadcast on ITV1.
