A Plaque For André Rieu's Old
House
May 24,
2015 The Limburger: At the house on the Begijnen street in Maastricht where
André grew up, a plaque will be unveiled on Tuesday evening. The famous
violinist/conductor and Mayor Onno Hoes will be present for this occasion. The artwork (for the
plaque) was created by the Maastricht sculptress, Desiree Tonnaer.
The city of
Maastricht offers this plaque as a gift to the violinist and
conductor for his 65th birthday. In October Rieu reached that age.

Bravo à la ville de Maastricht pour honorer un de ses plus célèbres concitoyens. André mérite amplement cette distinction par le rayonnement qu'il apporte à sa ville natale avec son talent et sa magnifique musique. BRAVO cher Maestro et GOD BLESS YOU ! Francine .
