There are two Classical composers by the name Emily Hall. British and Canadian. Both are incredibly gifted modern classical composers.
1.British Emily Hall is a composer, known for her songs, writing in a style which is classical meets folk meets completely her own style. Her music has been widely performed at festivals including Latitude, Aldeburgh, Faster than Sound, Ether and Spitalfields and by groups like the London Sinfonietta, Streetwise Opera, London Symphony Orchestra and the Brodsky Quartet. She has been collaborating with author Toby Litt on songs since 2006. She writes for and collaborates a lot with cellist Oliver Coates and with singer Mara Carlyle and pianist John Reid. Other singers she has written for include Robert Murray, Olivia Chaney and Alice Grant.
Emily Hall was winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Award in 2005 and the Genesis Opera Prize in 2006, for her chamber opera, 'Sante', which was produced by Aldeburgh Productions and the London Sinfonietta and was described by the Times as a 'dynamic new opera, worth everyone's time and hopes'.
Emily Hall read music at the University of York then studied orchestration with Yan Maresz in Paris. She received her Masters in Composition at the RCM studying with Julian Anderson and was subsequently awarded the Gilbert and Eileen Edgar Junior Fellowship also at the RCM and was awarded a Fellowship at Tanglewood, Boston.

2.Canadian Composer Emily Hall (born in New Brunswick) started piano lessons at the age of six. Moving later in childhood to southern Ontario, she studied through the Royal Conservatory of Music, followed by undergraduate studies in piano performance and composition back on the east coast at Mount Allison University (Sackville, N.B.), where, in 1999, she directed 24 musicians performing her chamber and vocal music. Subsequently, she obtained a Master’s degree in composition from McGill University, studying with Jean Lesage and Denys Bouliane.
She has received national acclaim for her vocal music. Her thesis, Inside is the Sky, for chamber orchestra and mezzo-soprano, includes text by renowned Canadian poet Lorna Crozier. It garnered a second prize in the Godfrey Ridout Awards of the SOCAN Foundation, 2005. The following year, she won in the same category for Curious Rêve, a work for SATB choir, a cappella, with multilingual text written by her.
Phantom Caprice, for alto flute and marimba, was written for Duo Meunier/Breault. They gave it several performances in Quebec, one of which was a finalist for the prestigious Opus prize’s Concert of the Year—Regions in 2008.
Her works have been performed by, among others, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Quatuor Bozzini, ARRAYMUSIC, Ensemble Synapse, VivaVoce, the Vancouver Miniaturist Ensemble, the Contemporary Keyboard Society, the McGill Percussion Ensemble, the Group of the Electronic Music Studio of McGill (GEMS), the McGill Contemporary Music Ensemble, Duo Meunier-Breault, Julieanne Klein, Kristie Ibrahim, Kinza Tyrrell, Peter Unternährer, Nadia Francavilla and Patrick Wedd.
She is on the artistic committee of the concert society Codes d’accès, a freelance writer (Musicworks) and a coordinator for the Canadian New Music Network. She is also an associate composer of the Canadian Music Centre (CMC) and has been funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Fonds Québécois de la Recherche sur la Société et la Culture, and the Albert Koechlin Stiftung (artist residency, Stadtmühle Willisau, Switzerland.)
