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.

André released a CD with Bonus DVD: Jolly Holiday and Pierre surprised him with a cake. One of their companies: “Piece of Steel” launched the idea to erect big metal Christmas trees out of their stored scaffolding, for malls of companies. Click HERE to read the article from a Dutch newspaper, in the Harmony Parlor. On Instagram we found pictures of forest-walks and biking tours.
