Biography

Neville Hall was born in 1962 in Wellington, New Zealand. He studied composition at Auckland University from 1987–91 with John Rimmer and John Elmsly, graduating MMus with First Class Honours in 1991. On completing university, Neville travelled to Europe where he attended summer schools and private lessons with a number of prominent composers including Franco Donatoni, Brian Ferneyhough, Witold Lutoslawski and Gerard Grisey. 

His works have been performed at festivals and concerts in Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand, and have received a number of international awards, including a Menzione d’Onore in the 16th Concorso International “Luigi Russolo” in 1995 and a Recommendation in the Paris Rostrum of Composers in 2001. Since 1993, Neville has lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he is active as a freelance composer.

Neville has represented New Zealand three times at the ISCM World Music Days, most recently in Beijing in 2018. In 2020, he released a CD of his music entitled Or looked back to the flowing, featuring three orchestral works and a selection of chamber music. Recent compositions include so flamed in the air for orchestra, which was premiered in Ljubljana by the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Marco Angius in 2021.
