Theodora R. Troendle (October 19, 1893 – June 12, 1972)[1] was an American composer,[2] pianist,[3] and music educator who composed a piano concerto, then premiered it as the soloist with the Chicago Women's Symphony Orchestra in 1927.[4]

Troendle was born in Chicago[5] to Victor Hugo and Isabel MacDonald Troendle. The family later moved to Minneapolis where Victor was president of the Troendle Wholesale Paper Company.[6]

Troendle studied with Adolf Wiedig and Arne Oldberg at Northwestern University,[7] and with pianist Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler, working as her assistant from 1913 to 1920.[8] Troendle taught in Chicago at the MacDowell School of Music,[9] the Sherwood Music School founded by William Hall Sherwood,[10] and at DePaul University School of Music. She served a term as president of the Society of American Musicians.[1]

An excellent pianist, Troendle did a trial recording for the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1922 which was never commercially released.[11] She played for Recordo piano roll 67220[12] and Story & Clark piano roll 72827.[13] She gave recitals[14] and toured as a pianist,[15] appearing as a soloist with the St. Louis, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and Chicago Women's Symphony orchestras.[16]
