Alison Hall, violin

Alison Hall has been a member of the Richmond Symphony since 2001 and joined the Wintergreen orchestra in the "Vienna" summer of 2010. A teacher and coach, she has especially enjoyed writing children’s programs for the Afton String Quartet and the RSO strings to take into Virginia schools.  

She holds a B.A. from Yale and her M.M. from the Manhattan School of Music, with Burton Kaplan as her principal teacher.  She plays on an 1899 Gavatelli, sold to her at discounted price in 1989 by a kind chamber music coach, as her old violin had been stolen during an orthodontic appointment. 

Alison grew up in London and Jersey City, and she lives in Charlottesville with her husband and four children.
