The unique atmosphere of the Vrijthof, which is the oldest square in the Netherlands, touches both heart and soul. It is fantastic that this concert will once again be shown in cinemas around the world in August, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as my orchestra and I do. Viva Maastricht!” – André Rieu
