About Me
"This is without any doubt an impressive vocal talent" wrote the New York Times following Bruce Hall's New York City recital debut. His international operatic and concert career has since included appearances at Lyric Opera of Chicago, Chicago Opera Theater, and the Cologne, Stuttgart, Netherlands, Seattle, Michigan, Cleveland, and St. Louis opera companies among others. He has made more than 200 appearances on PBS television and NPR. He has been a soloist with Aspen, Meadowbrook, Artpark, and Grant Park Music Festivals as well as the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Westdeutsche and Südwestfunk Radio Orchestras, and many American orchestras. He has appeared on Grammy-nominated recordings with New World Records and Albany Records. Before joining the Roosevelt University faculty, he taught at Northwestern University, Auburn University (opera director) and Virginia Tech (choral). He has conducted choirs on international tours and competitions, including top awards in the International Musical Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales.
