February 5, 2020. Interview on L1 (Limburg TV). André Rieu will read the Great Maastricht Dialect Dictation of 2020, which is written by his wife Marjorie. It was a challenge to translate from Limburg dialect, but we think John and Ineke managed.

André Rieu's wife to write the Great Mestreechs (Maastricht dialect) Dictation of 2020. From L1, Limburg Central, by Randy Beaumont. Note: Every year there are "Great Dictations of the Dutch language and/or “dialects" throughout the Netherlands. They are self-written stories which are then read and the people participating must then write the spoken text without errors. Of course the sport is to include a few difficult sentences and words. The person with the least amount of language/dialect errors is the winner. The organization of the Great Mestreechs Dictation has asked world star André Rieu this year to write the dictation. André Rieu revealed that in L1mburg Central. De stand-alone-violinist will not write the text himself, but leaves that to his wife. Rieu himself will read the text in the Maastricht dialect. Pleasantly surprised Hortense Brounts, chairman of the dialect association Veldeke Maastricht, is very happy with Rieu's participation. A new committee has been formed and it has come up with the idea of asking more famous people, like Mayor Penn, the governor of Limburg Theo Bovens and Cecile Narinx, who have already written their texts before. We now thought: "We would just ask Rieu”. To our great surprise, he said yes and we are very happy with his answer." To Read aloud It is extra special for Veldeke Maastricht that the 70-year-old world star will be participating, since the association has already been in existence for 40 years. The organization is turning to the MECC for this edition of the dictation. There Rieu will read his text, after which Brounts will dictate the text. Audience 100 People can participate in the dictation.

Royal day When asked whether Rieu would be participating during the celebration of King's Day in Maastricht, on April 27, the orchestra leader could not answer.

September 2, 2022. The Maastricht Dialect Dictation has been postponed again, due to Rieu's rehearsals. Currently “t Groet Mestreechs Dictee” is organized a week later than originally planned. André Rieu, who is going to administer the language test, is unable to do so on the original date. On October 23, 2022, he rehearses with his orchestra for the Christmas concerts he gives in the MECC in December 2022. That is why the “Mestreechs Dictee” is now organized on October 30, 2022.

August 30, 2020. The Great Maastricht Dictation 2020 which would be read by André Rieu this year, is cancelled. “Like many other associations in the city, “Veldeke Krink Mestreech” is forced to move planned events to next year, due to the consequences of COVID-19," the foundation reported on Sunday evening. Limited by corona rules. The event was previously moved from May to September. The organization is of the opinion that, in view of the corona measures, it cannot organize the Dictation in September that contributes qualitatively to the promotion of the Maastricht language.

The most famous Maastricht resident was also involved in the decision to postpone the dictation. André Rieu would read the dictation this year. His wife Marjorie would get into the pen.
