September 29 2020. From a Belgian paper: Madieke Marjon Schoots. GLO-ART is an art exhibition in Lanaken, Belgium, just across the Maastricht border. On September 28th 2020 Madieke Marjon Schoots (mezzo soprano) and Linda Scherp (international dancer) performed a show at GLO-ART. About Madieke: When Madieke saw her first musical as a six-year-old girl, she already knew for sure: "I want to be a singer." No wonder she chose to study singing at the conservatory. With her warm, powerful mezzo-soprano voice she has since sung roles in countless operas. For several years now she has also been singing with André Rieu's Johann Strauss Orchestra, where, in addition to the opera, she can once again indulge her passion for musical and theater. Wherever Madieke is in the world, she always finds out if there is a yoga school somewhere to practice her other great passion. About Linda Scherp: She is a professional dancer who already performed many international shows. Photo: Edgard Bronckaers/EB Media.

March 2021 Corona Covid-9 restrictions are still being extended in the Netherlands. That means that the virus is spreading over the world for over a year now. Only recently they largely started the vaccinations in the Netherlands. It means that we are still living in isolation, wearing mouth/nose masks all the time, keep at 1,5 distance, washing hands all the time, only supermarkets are open, no shops, restaurants, cafés, terraces, theaters. cinemas. No big events expected to be allowed in 2021. It must be a nightmare for André. We are surprised to see the photo he posted in March 2021 on his Facebook account. We feel happy that he is looking so well after this disaster for him. Pierre had a radio interview on L1 Radio, and the Limburg paper published a resume.
