Emily Hale

Audiences have described violinist Emily Hale’s performances as animated, intuitive and elegant. Fueled by a sense of curiosity and discovery, Emily performs on period instruments and creates interactive performance experiences like the inventive PrintWorks: Making Music with her collaborative ensemble The Halfmoon. She has appeared on BBC Channel 4, at the London Handel and Valetta International Baroque Festivals, with The Sebastians, Four Nations Ensemble, Seraphic Fire, Arpeggione Ensemble, Teatro Nuovo, and 17th century band Ardenza. Performances in 2024 have brought her across the US, to Mexico and the UK.

From intimate house concerts to leading a pop-up baroque orchestra at Boston’s Roslindale neighborhood Porchfest, Emily is focused on connecting with audiences. Her Pajama Concerts have proved popular with family audiences at libraries and schools in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania. Pajama Concerts offer innovative “musical story-telling,” pairing classic children’s literature with chamber music in an open, inclusive format. Emily taught at Bridgewater State University and presented to graduate music history seminars at Queens College in NYC and at Texas Tech University. She holds a master’s degree in Historical Performance, with Distinction, from the Royal College of Music in London, where she won the McKenna Prize for Baroque Music.
