Mayke Rademakers

Mayke Rademakers is a Dutch cellist who received her first cello lessons from the Hungarian cellist György Schiffer and graduated cum laude under his guidance. From the age of 16 she attended the masterclasses by André Navarra at the famous summerschool of the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, Italy. Navarra was impressed by her talent and invited her to study with him in Vienna. After 2 years she continued her studies with William Pleeth in London and with a Fulbright grant with János Starker (USA). Her final examination at the Academy of Music in Utrecht was awarded cum laude.

Mayke gave many recitals, chamber music concerts, broadcasts and solo concerts in Europe and in the Aspen Festival (USA).

Recently she and her duo pianist Matthijs Verschoor were awarded the silver medal by the Societé Academique Arts –Sciences-Lettres in Paris for their commitment to the French music.[1]

Her recordings with works by Brahms, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich, de Falla, Piazzolla and the complete Bach suites, were highly acclaimed by the international press.

Gramophone wrote about her and Matthijs Verschoor: "Again, Rademakers and Verschoor perform with unstinting dedication."[2]

In 2015 Mayke made her debut at Challenge Records International.
