From Your Harmony Parlor Hosts Sue and John

.The Harmony Parlor began back in August of 2007 as Fansite for 'Current News' of André Rieu, his Johann Strauss Orchestra and Singers and is run by your hosts, Sue Berry and John deJong. Here is a little background history about The Parlor and how it evolved to what it has become today ...

Within those first weeks in August, John joined me and together John and I have worked hard to make it a site where all English speaking fans from around the world can come and read the best of the most current news there is on all things André ...

John who lives in California, is originally from the Netherlands (and also lived in Germany) finds most of our European news and does all the translations of Dutch and German news into English for The Parlor. Running an American Fansite, for a Dutch violinist would just not work without Johns' Translations.

The Parlor has grown from those first weeks back in 2007 of a few hundred hits a day to the current status of 2,000 to 5,000+ hits a day from all over the world, depending on what André is doing and where he is performing. Not too bad for what started out as a little blog about the man with a violin. :)
.
We want to thank the fans from around the world who send us their photos and concert experiences, another feature that without them, the Parlor would not be what it is.

Then there are our good friends ... Ineke and Ruud in Holland with their Movie Site and Jann in Australia with her Aussie Fansite. These three sites have worked hand in hand ... together we have created a circle of the best and most up to the minute news of André Rieu for all English speaking fans.

The Parlor is here for all to enjoy and we only ask that you respectfully do not remove photos posted that have been sent to us by fans, our graphics, or John's Translated Articles which are copyrighted, without our permission.
