Tilly KOENEN, contralto

Tilly Koenen (1873-1941)

Mezzo soprano Tilly Koenen was born in Salatiga on Java as daughter of a cavalry officer. Around 1880 the family moved to Holland. Having graduated as a pianist at age 18, she continued her studies with contralto Cornélie van Zanten in Amsterdam and Berlin. After her debut in 1898 she has built a distinguished reputation in Central Europe as a Lied and oratorio singer. In 1909 and 1910 she toured the United States and Canada; in 1910 she took part in the premiere of Mahler’s Eighth Symphony in Munich, conducted by the composer. In the early 20s she ended her stage career. After a stay in England she returned to the Netherlands in 1939, and settled with her former teacher Cornélie van Zanten in The Hague.
