Lady Hallé, whose maiden name was Wilhelmine Néruda, was born at Brünn,
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 Hallé, whom she married in 1888.
