Dress Rehearsal
Like every year, André and the JSO had a Dress Rehearsal the night before the first concert. To us this is the best “concert” of the weekend, a concert without music, but you see André in full action. Rehearsal and attention even to the most minute detail.
Below two videos covering the Dress Rehearsal. No subtitles (yet), one thing about Maastricht is a severe lack of time !
The program will be recorded by the German ZDF and during the Dress Rehearsal André does all the introductions in German. Many of us have seen enough concerts to know what he is talking about. When he is talking to the ‘floor’, he is speaking to Pit Weirich the recording director in the truck backstage. Marjorie, André’s wife, is in this truck as well and together with Pit she determines whether the intro was good. Regularly André has to do (part of) the introduction again because of small linguistic mishaps. All has to be perfect… Have fun with over an hour of footage.

The Concert
Below a 45 minute impression of the concert. It is mainly the 2nd half of the concert.
This years program is dedicated to 25 years André and the JSO. The first half of the program is what we all have seen in those 25 years… The most spectacular part was the 2nd half with the Mastreechter Staar male choir, Father Abraham with the Smurf Song and the “Red Rose Cafe” (both composed by him). And Carmen with a song from “Carmen”. That leg….. And the usual fireworks, even more then last years.
The video is a compilation of the Friday, Saturday and Sunday concerts. Enjoy!
