André Rieu w/Johann Strauss Orchestra Amalie Arena plays host to concerts from superstars cut from every cloth. Just look at this one from classical music giant André Rieu, who’ll bring a 60-piece orchestra with him to Channelside and the music will waltz around a catalog that’s earned the 68-year-old Dutch violinist and conductor a closetful of awards and billions of YouTube views. Not sure what kind of insurance Rieu has on his famed Stradivarius violin from 1732, but we hope he gets into his love of Springsteen, Coldplay and AC/DC on that thing. (Amalie Arena, Tampa) INFO
