I'll recommend the books by Khaled Hosseini. In December we'll play our Christmas tour in the UK. What is on the calendar the coming months? In the month of November we'll play close to home: Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Brussels. I also would like to be in the management, or doing drama. In my spare time I perform with the guitar/mandolin ensemble "the Strings", and I still play with the brass band "Heer Vooruit" every now and then. Then I'll go back to studying and playing the guitar again. But I cannot go on playing the clarinet, when my dentures are chattering and too loose. My parents are still alive and my grandmother turned 101 and is still alive. How do you see the future? André is convinced in becoming 120 and I have strong genes too. We are very successful and we tour the world. What do you think of the never leaving so-called real critics? In the beginning we thought them to be annoying, but not anymore. What is the power of the Johann Strauss Orchestra? The pleasure we have in playing music. What is André Rieu's secret? His charm, his special charisma, and his different views on classical music. According to Manoe, she is a musician through and through. As a conservatory student she joined several projects and one of them was in a project with the LSO (Limburg Symphony Orchestra) where she traveled to Berlin as a soloist, with a piece of Leonard Bernstein. She also taught as a music teacher for a few years at a middle school. She was also interested in jazz music and studied guitar and vocals. As a child she did not know which career to choose: a sport career or a music career. She also enjoined sports such as: judo and handball. At that time only boys and men participated and were members playing wind instruments in a brass band. At the age of 9, she was the first female to join the brass band. All throughout her musical education, she received music lessons from well-known musicians. When Manoe was 6 years old she received an S-Clarinet (a smaller type than the usual clarinets, since she said she was small then, and still is). Manoe and her father have been members with this band for over 40 years. Her grandfather was on the board of governors of the brass band "Heer Vooruit", and Manoe's father succeeded him there. She inherited her musical talents from her mother's and grandfather's side. Manoe was born on March 10th 1961 in Maastricht, in a musical family.
