More than ten years ago Gerard co-founded the Delta Piano Trio, currently working together in the trio with cellist Nuala McKenna and pianist Vera Kooper. In 2020, the trio won the Kersjes Prize, the most important chamber music award in the Netherlands worth 50,000 euros. They have also won numerous other awards, including first prizes at the Stasys Vainiūnas International Chamber Music Competition in Lithuania, the Salieri-Zinetti International Chamber Music Competition in Italy, the Orlando International Chamber Music Competition in the Netherlands and the Orpheus Chamber Music Competition in Switzerland. The trio has performed extensively in Europe, Russia, Israel, China, Korea, Indonesia and the United States in venues such as The Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), the National Centre for the Performing Arts (Beijing), the Gangdong Arts Centre (Seoul) and St. John's Smith Square (London). The ensemble has released four albums to international acclaim: a debut CD recorded for Naxos Records, ‘The Mirror with Three Faces’ with Odradek Records, ‘Origin’ with Challenge Classics and ‘Milking Darkness’, also with Challenge Classics.

Gerard is also initiator of ‘Classical comes to everyone’. This social initiative has to goal to bring the beautiful classical music that sounds in the concert halls also to people who do not come in contact with it. Gerard has a violin made by Antonio Gragnani in 1773 on loan from the collection of the Dutch Musical Instruments Foundation.

As a finalist of the Dutch Classical Talent, Nuala played a concert tour with a solo program in all major halls of the Netherlands during the 2018/19 season.
She took part in several international festivals such as the Verbier Festival, International Bach Festival Gran Canaria, Schwetzinger Festspiele, Musikfest Radebaul and Podium Festival Esslingen. In the Netherlands she performed at the Grachtenfestival, ‘Klassifest’, ‘Wonderfeel Festival’ and the Cello Biennale Amsterdam. She is the artistic director of her own festival ‘Musikfest Kahleby’, founded in thesummer of 2016.

She played chamber music with renowned artists such as Maria Joao Pires, the Talich Quartet, Boris Garlitsky, Augustin Dumay, Miguel da Silva, Olli Mustonen, Axel Strauss and Jean-Guihen Queyras and performed as a soloist with the Göttinger Sinfonieorchester, Theater Erfurt, Kammerorchester Kiel and the Kammerorchester Schleswig.

Nuala has been awarded a Diapason D'Or, the most prestigious of French music magazine awards as well as the ‘Les Clefs Resmusica’ award for her debut CD, newly released in March 2021, with works for solo cello from the 20th century.

Her second album ‘DUO’ was released in November 2023 in collaboration with pianist Robert Kulek. It features works from the 20th century for cello and piano.

As a laureate of the ‘Wettbewerb des Instrumentenfond der Deutschen Stiftung Musikleben’, Nuala played a cello with the label ‘Joseph Guarnerius, from the 2nd half of the 18th century’ from 2011-2023. She is currently playing a cello with label ‘Joseph Tecchler’ from 1721, generously provided to her by the ‘Haus der Musik’.

Vera has performed in Europe, Russia, China, Korea, Indonesia, Cuba, the United States and South Africa. She has performed in venues such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and at renowned festivals, including the Salzburg Chamber Music Festival, the Grachtenfestival, the New York Chamber Music Festival, the Swiss Chamber Music Festival, the West Cork Chamber Music Festival, Musikdorf Ernen, the Gaia Festival and the Storioni Festival. As a soloist, she has worked with ensembles such as the Netherlands Youth Orchestra, Sinfonia Rotterdam and the Basel Chamber Orchestra, and with musicians including Nobuko Imai, Gwendolyn Masin, Leonard Elschenbroich, Benedict Klöckner and Gregor Horsch. In 2020, her first solo album, Hope (Odradek Records), was released, featuring works by Beethoven and Corigliano.

Since 2021, she has formed the Duo du Toit-Kooper with South African-Dutch clarinetist Maria du Toit. The duo explores both the classical clarinet-piano repertoire and lesser-known works, with a particular focus on female composers and composers from underrepresented groups. Their debut album, She/Her, was released in 2024 by Channel Classics to enthusiastic reception.

Vera is also committed to exploring new ways of presenting music beyond the traditional concert setting. Between 2020 and 2022, she toured Dutch theatres with Floris Kortie in The Year 250 After Beethoven, a musical theater production about Beethoven's life. De Volkskrant praised her “layered piano playing,” while NRC described the production as “sincere and well-crafted biographical musical theater.”

She began playing the piano at the age of six and, at thirteen, was admitted to the Young Talent Class at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, where she studied with Kamilla Bystrova. She later continued her studies with David Kuyken, graduating cum laude in 2011. She then studied at the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg with George Kern, earning her Soloist Diploma with highest distinction in 2015. Further studies took her to the Accademia Santa Cecilia in Bergamo, the Conservatoire de Paris with the Trio Wanderer, and the Musikakademie Basel, where she obtained her Master of Arts in Specialised Musical Performance under Rainer Schmidt and Anton Kernjak. She also received coaching in London from the American pianist Stephen Kovacevich, who described her as “an exceptionally gifted and interesting artist.”
