| Engaging and Memorable Workshops, Presentations, Lecture-Recitals with Jonathan Hall and with Powers and Hall |
| For several years now, Jonathan Hall has been building a reputation for giving excellent, informative, and lively presentations to gatherings of the American Guild of Organists and in other educational settings. Audiences in Chicago, Indiana, New York City, Long Island and New Jersey have praised his work highly. Hall has a rare gift for inspiring his listeners, presenting facts as the living things he sees them to be. His preparation is excellent, his delivery is clear and clever--and audible! And as always, he approaches the organ with sympathy, enticing the best out of any instrument he's asked to play. His literary style and clear, trained speaking voice, combined with his skills as an organ performer, make him a natural choice for a Guild chapter, high school or college, or religious institution looking for a presenter or workshop leader. Hall has presented on historical organs, coupling his richly contextual historical remarks with sensitive performance. He has taught children and families at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and played multiple recitals on their historic 1830 Appleton organ. He is an expert on the life of Calvin Hampton and an advocate for his music. His work with the Powers and Hall organ and saxophone duo is a great choice for an "organ plus" program. He is also at home in the world of Reform Judaism, and has taught adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah classes on the basics of Christianity. His interdisciplinary education, intellectual curiosity and natural extroversion make him a wonderful lecturer and performer. His fees are reasonable!
