Nathan acknowledges the incredible history and culture of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe Nations (Colorado) and Seneca Nation of Western NY, and that many of his projects occur on occupied lands throughout our current US and the world.
Nathan Hall is a composer and artist who explores site-specificity, nature and climate, sexuality, and personal identity. He has been called a “seriously talented composer” (Denver Post) and “a try-anything aural dreamer” (Westword) whose works often come out as intriguing, fearless, and courageous. He aims to create intimacy between performer, place, and audience, and often creates moments of transformation from simple stories and common materials: magic out of the everyday.
His works have been performed and exhibited in 16 countries and 24 US States by institutions and ensembles including MCA Denver, Clyfford Still Museum, Mattress Factory Museum, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the String Orchestra of Brooklyn, eight GALA Choruses, Playground Ensemble, International Orange Chorale, a convention of roller coaster enthusiasts, and several adult film stars. Nathan Hall is a former Fulbright Fellow to Iceland, a McKnight Visiting Composer, and he holds his Doctorate in Musical Arts (DMA) from CU Boulder. He holds a BA from Vassar College and MM from Carnegie Mellon. Nathan has been awarded numerous grants including projects with FEMA and a New Music USA grant, and has been the Artist in Residence at two US National Parks, Bunnell Street Arts (Alaska), La Napoule (France), Skaftfell (Iceland), and VICC (Sweden), among others.
Nathan is currently Adjunct faculty in Composition at the University of Denver, and in Music Production at RMCAD. He is on the Board of Playground Ensemble, and lives in Denver with his husband Andy.
