Lady Halle, whose maiden name was Wilhelmine Neruda, was born at Bruenn,
where her father was organist of the cathedral. She was a pupil of
Jansa, and made her first appearance at Vienna at the age of six, and in
London at the age of nine. After this she returned to the Continent, and
in 1864 she married Ludwig Norman, a Swedish musician. Since 1869 she
has been in England every winter, playing especially at the concerts of
Sir Charles Halle, whom she married in 1888.

SIR CHARLES HALLE.

[Illustration: AGE 20.

_From a Painting._]

Sir Charles Halle is a native of Germany, but at an early age he
established himself in Paris, where he acquired a great reputation by

musicians; but the Revolution of 1843 drove him to England, where he has
ever since resided. He soon established himself at Manchester, and as
the founder of the annual series of orchestral and choral concerts there
and in London, which have become, perhaps, the most important series in
Europe, he has rendered the most valuable service to musical art.
