Köln - 1 Jan 2012
Will you be attending this concert? Or do you know anyone that will be attending?
If you do attend, please email me your concert report & attach any photos you take. We would dearly love to know all the music played during the concert.

Andre's official website just posted
photos of the Cologne, Germany concert
and our favorite Manoe seems to be missing. Perhaps she had a seasonal illness but it is also possible she has
had a recurrence of the cancer that beset her in the past year or two. The
JSO is celebrating it's 25th Anniv. but
that would be greatly dampened if Manoe is seriously ill. Hope someone can answer this question.

I see Mireille in photo 4 0f 12 plus parts of her in others. There is no Manoe sitting between Arthur and Sanne in any photos I looked at. Wonder if
either were sick and didn't return at
break time. Will recheck total no. of
photos but only saw 12.

I just looked again. #6 of 15 photos, & again #14 of #15; it's Glenn on the kettle drums. Look for the photos under FAN PICTURES, on Andre's website.....the fan photos were taken 1 Jan 2012 in Koln. If you look at the set after logging into Andre's website you find there are 15 photos to the 1 Jan 2012 Koln set taken by fans.

Looked over fan photos on Andre's site
and see different hair style on Sanne and different hair colors for Nicole. Think some fans mixed photos from two or
more concerts. Under News on Andre site
there are 12 official JSO photos and
Manoe's position is vacant. I do not trust the fan photos as being totally correct for the Cologne concert Jan.1,2012. Nicole's hair is brown in
those photos.

There is the possibility that Manoe has
decided to retire. She has been with Andre about 20 years or so. Health issues might have helped bring retirement sooner rather than later.

Manoe is in some of the fan photos for the 1 Jan 2012 Koln concert.

Bill, I only see three sets of fan photos for Jan. 1-one is a group of 10,
another is a group of 50 and the last is
a group of 10. The stage flowers are not
the same for all photos and the back row
violin section varies in different photos. Freya,Diana and Els should be in
the second row left to right. Anyway there are several new concerts beginning
tomorrow so we'll see if Manoe is present. Thanks! Photo #1 on Andre's News page for Jan.1 shows 25th Anniv.
and orchestra make-up minus Stephanie
cropped on left and Marcel cropped on
right.

Bill, Just found a concert report at another fan site for Jan.1 at
Cologne. It says Manoe and Cord were not
present and Linda (Custers)did not return after the break. So, there may be
a flu bug hitting the orchestra. There
is also a complete concert program listing. Mirusia is wearing a new blue
dress for singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Bill, Using the website I gave you click
Previous Items- from left side menu and
look for Cologne Jan.1 2012 at top of the list and click that on. Not very many actual concert photos but a nice
photo of Gary Bennett and wife. They live in Cologne, Germany.
