About Fergus Hall
Fergus Hall is a musician, composer, multidisciplinary artist and music educator from the west of Scotland. He is happiest navigating the intersections of musical practices, particularly those of jazz, sound art, Scottish traditional music, free improvisation and contemporary classical music. Much of Fergus' work focuses on the natural environment, ecologies and conservation, particularly around the coastlines and seas of Scotland.
He has been commissioned by Glasgow New Music Expedition, Nevis Ensemble, Sound and Music, Making Music UK, An Tobar, Sound Festival and CoMA. In 2023 Fergus was selected to take part in the Royal Philharmonic Society Composer Program and to create a new work for The Hermes Experiment. In 2025 Fergus was awarded the Young Classical Artist Trust Composer Fellowship for 2025/26 for which he will create new works for the Fibonacci Quartet and cellist James Morley. These new works will be premiered this coming season at Wigmore Hall in London. His music has been performed by Sequoia Duo, Emily Davis, Fergus McCreadie, Matt Carmichael, The Edinburgh Quartet, Marie Schreer and the University of Glasgow Chapel Choir.
