Jeremy Findlay's cello lessons began with his father, William Findlay, as a scholarship student at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. He continued his studies with Daniel Domb at the University of Toronto where he graduated in 1992. Canada Council and Ontario Arts Council grants provided the opportunity for further studies with Josef Chuchro at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and later with Christoph Richter in Germany. Findlay also studied chamber music at the European Mozart Academy, under the direction of Sándor Végh, and took part in the masterclasses of Boris Pergamenschikow and Yo-Yo Ma. 

Both in concert and in recordings, Findlay frequently includes repertoire by Czech composers.  He has recorded works by Dvorak, Janacek, Martinu, Petr Eben and Jiri Gemrot.  Many of Gemrot’s cello works are dedicated to Findlay including his Sonata for Cello and Piano, Variations on a theme by Beethoven, Concertino for Cello, Piano and Orchestra and most recently his Concerto for Cello and Chamber Orchestra. Since their meeting in Prague in 1994, Jeremy Findlay has collaborated with pianist Elena Braslavsky. Together they have appeared in Canada, the United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia.
