"Day of the Drunken Brass Bands" with André Rieu


Maastricht Celebrates The Day of The "Zate Hermeniekes" 
(Drunken Brass Bands)

De Limburger, Jeroen GeertsThe concert was given a new design. For the first time yesterday Maastricht celebrated the "Day of the Drunken Brass Bands" with André Rieu as special guest.

He was there - his voice blares through the loudspeakers, but only a few can see him. The podium contains André Rieu, who has been specially invited to conduct all the bands at the end of the first day of the "Drunken Brass Bands". And who has been placed in such a manner, that he is only visible to a few carnival celebrants on the Vrijthof.  

When the first notes of the Maastricht Anthem are sound, the sky bursts open and immediately tens of umbrellas are being opened. That the ending with André Rieu that was somewhat chaotic, did not dampen the celebration though. Everyone is together to celebrate. "I am looking for a supporting act for my US Tour in two weeks" says Rieu laughingly. And yes, if someone can see his baton, the stand-alone violinist sings "The Slave Choir song" full out and The Vrijthof is transformed into one great mass.

Thanks to John for this with the Translation

I had always enjoyed Rudd, his beautiful music and his joy of play always stand out in my mind. He is forever missed. Always look for him in the older videos. So Happy I got to see him when I attended a concert in Bucharest. I am from Canada and send love for his family and friends Thank you for the music. It is beautiful like you.
