Geertruida van Vladeracken

Geertruida van Vladeracken (18 April 1880 – 2 January 1947) was a Dutch composer, singer, and writer.[1]

Geertruida van Vladeracken (1931)

Vladeracken was born in Haarlem to Gerard Pieter van Vladeracken and Jacoba Elisabeth Foreest van Vladeracken.[2] She had three siblings. She studied music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam[3] with Bernard Zweers and Anton Tierie.[4] Vladeracken married the lawyer and composer Nicolaas Cornelis Vogel in 1901. After his death, she married the artist and pianist Jan Poortenaar in 1916.[5]

Vladeracken gave frequent vocal recitals[6] throughout Europe and America, accompanied by Poortenaar on piano. This enabled Poortenaar to exhibit his art in many cities where he is now represented in museums. From 1922 to 1924, the couple toured Indonesia,[7] where they presented recitals and Poortenaar painted. They wrote a book about this trip entitled Een kunstreis in de Tropen (An Artist in Java and Other Islands of Indonesia).[8]

Vladeracken's musical manuscripts are archived in the Netherlands Music Institute. Her music was published by Alsbach and Broekmans & van Poppel[9] under the name "Geertruida Vladeracken."
