Linda has been the choir’s accompanist since 1996, and in that time has impressed all who hear her, as a soloist as well as accompanist. She brings a freshness to the choir’s musical accompaniment, which lifts the choir and audiences alike. Linda also accompanies the Australian Girls’ Choir, and is the pianist for the Australian Pops Orchestra.
For many years Linda and her piano/violin/doublebass trio held a residency in the Grand Dining Room of Melbourne’s Windsor Hotel. Singers she has accompanied include Marina Prior, David Hobson, Judith Durham, Sally-Anne Russell, Donald Cant, Philip Gould and Karen Knowles. She also enjoys frocking up to perform jazz, blues and cabaret in Kelly Auty’s “Wild Women Show”!
Linda is the Official Accompanist for Royal South Street, Waverley, Diamond Valley, Mordialloc, Ararat and Boroondarah Eisteddfods. She has released two solo piano CDs - Kitten on the Keys (2002) and Dizzy Fingers (2007).
In addition, Linda gives private piano tuition, is in demand as a VCE and AMEB exam accompanist, and mentors and teaches song-writing skills to disadvantaged teenage girls (“Noisy Girls” project).
