Linda Hall

Pianist Linda Hall is an assistant conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, where she has worked on the music staff for many of the most challenging operas in the repertory, including works by twentieth-century composers such as Schoenberg, Berg, Strauss, Britten, Corigliano, Harbison, Bolcom, and Picker. She has performed as part of the Met Orchestra in the orchestra pit for operas that require a piano part, and formerly appeared regularly with the Met Chamber Ensemble for the annual Carnegie Hall concert series at Weill Hall and Zankel Hall.

In addition to her work with the Met, Miss Hall collaborates with many singers and instrumentalists in concerts throughout the United States and abroad. Since 2007 she performs and records with the New York Piano Quartet. She has taught at the Israeli Vocal Arts Institute in Tel Aviv for many summers and has done master classes in Japan and China. In 2006, she was invited to join the faculty of the Tanglewood Music Center where she taught for ten years.

Miss Hall's recording activities include discs on the Neuma label with flutist Patricia Spencer, an album with Met Orchestra principal cellist Jascha Silberstein for the Heritage label, several CDs with the New York Piano Quartet (two of them released in 2012 by Urlicht AudioVisual), two CDs for the French label Azur Classical and a new CD on the Capriccio label.

She received degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the Juilliard School, and pursued advanced studies at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. Miss Hall is a native of upstate New York.
