Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra postponed the remainder of his tour, including a March 15 date at State Farm Arena.

The musician said in a statement:

It is with great sadness that we must confirm the rescheduling of our remaining USA tour dates due to the risks of COVID-19. The well-being of our beloved fans, musicians and staff is always our top priority. Although we are very disappointed not to be able to perform for you now, we are committed to doing our part to help protect you at this stage. We are already working to reschedule the concerts and all tickets will be honored for the new dates. My orchestra and I look forward to returning to the U.S. to celebrate unforgettable nights of joy, music and dance with all of you. Please stay safe.

Refunds will be available at point of purchase.
