Strijk studied voice with Jeanne Companjen, Eugenie Ditewig and later with
Bas Ramselaar. She took master-classes of Ulrich Eisenlohr and
Michael Chance. She has performed regularly with the
Holland Boys Choir, conducted by
Pieter Jan Leusink, not only in their recordings of all
church cantatas by Bach, but also
Willem de Fesch's Missa Paschalis, Gregorio Allegri's
Miserere, Bach's
St Matthew Passion and Mozart's
Requiem. She also performed contemporary music, including John Rutter's
Requiem and the premiere of 's
Angel of Light. A reviewer of the Bach cantata recordings describes her voice as even and pure, "very attractive in its naiveté", "almost like a boy soprano". == References ==
