Valerie Tryon (b1934)

Valerie Tryon's career as a concert pianist began when she was still a child. Before she was twelve she had broadcast for the BBC, and was appearing regularly before the public on the concert platform. As a scholarship student at the Royal Academy of Music she won many prizes, receiving the highest award that is conferred on a performer. In 1955 she was awarded the coveted Boise Scholarship which enabled her to study in Paris with Jacques Fevrier. A year later, she became a prize winner at the Liszt Competition in Budapest. Her place among Britain's acknowledged artists was assured when a Cheltenham Festival debut recital in 1959 brought her the enthusiastic acclaim of the country's foremost critics. She has given concerts throughout the world and in 1967 was presented with the Harriet Cohen Award in recognition of her services to music. Her repertoire ranges from Bach to contemporary composers and includes over fifty concertos. Now a resident of Canada, Valerie Tryon is pianist-in-residence and faculty member at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario.
