About Coenraad Bloemendal & Valerie Tryon
Coenraad Bloemendal is a Dutch cellist. He was born in Amsterdam and studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory with Holland's leading cellist Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp. After graduating, he came to the United States to complete his studies with Janos Starker and William Primrose at Indiana University. In 1971 Mr. Bloemendal moved to Canada, joining the Camerata Canada chamber ensemble. He quickly established himself as one of the country's outstanding cellists. As a soloist, he has played the Beethoven Triple, and the Dvorak, Schumann and Haydn Cello Concerti. His performances with Glenn Gould on CBC Television's "Music in Our Time" led to other collaborations with the pianist, and have now been released on CD by Sony. The two solo albums, "Duos for Cello and Bass" with the double bass virtuoso Joel Quarrington on the Crystal label, and "The Cantorial Voice of the 'Cello" on the Dorian label, have been critically acclaimed. In 1986 Mr. Bloemendal founded the Rembrandt Trio with violinist Gerard Kantarjian and pianist Valerie Tryon. They have recorded extensively on the Dorian label. Valerie Tryon is a British-born pianist, now residing in Canada. Born September 5, 1934 in Portsmouth, England, Valerie Tryon toured with the Northern Youth Orchestra of Great Britain at age nine, and at age eleven made the first of many BBC broadcasts.

Since 1959, Valerie Tryon has performed Piano Concertos with the Hallé Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic, the London Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and other major orchestras.
