Since leaving the Guildhall, Linda had concentrated on the piano and has a growing career as soloist and accompanist. In 1989, Linda was an official accompanist for the International Vocalisten Concours in "s Hertogenbosch, Holland. Since then, her career has taken her back to the Continent to Germany, including eastern bloc countries like Poland, and further afield to Tenerife, Mauritius and Singapore. She has also recorded for Dutch and Mauritius television, Radio Scotland, Radio Oxford and broadcast live on Classic FM and Premier Radio. More recently, Linda made her debut in her native Singapore playing the Grieg Piano Concert and several other concerts.

Recordings
Her first solo CD, "Songs without Words" was released 6 years ago. To date, she has 7 CDs on the market. Her latest recording, "Diva at the Keys" was released in 2002.

Media attention
The Singapore "Straits Times" and the "Silver Kris" (Singapore Airlines In-flight Magazine) have written enthusiastically about her career to date. Linda was also featured on the cover of "Woman Alive" in 1999.

Current
In April 2002, Linda's career took a new direction with the soprano Janet Fairlie. Together, as "Diva Diva" they have found much success in bringing classical music to passengers on luxury cruise liners. In 2004, their journeys continue to take them round the world.

In 2003, the company "Theodoro Classics Ltd." was started. The company is a promotional vehicle for Linda's musical activities, and is named after her much loved pussy cat.
