Bravo pour ce nouveau succès bien mérité, cher André !
Congrats to Andre & the JSO! Can't wait until the 26th in Melbourne to see the show!
Great news! :D
On another note, will André Rieu again have a Christmas Advent Calendar? There were always wonderful prices to win and lovely free goodies like mp3 files and Christmas ornaments that you could print, etc.
