Alec Hall is a composer and violinist living in New York City. His
music attempts to re-imagine the possibilities of acoustic materials in the
post-Avant-Garde musical landscape. Using forms of sonic representation to address
urgent non-musical debates, his work is as aesthetically polycentric as it is
politically engaged. His compositions have had been performed by such groups as
Ensemble SurPlus, Proton, Intercontemporain, the Orchestre Philharmonique de
Radio-France, the JACK Quartet, ICE, Talea, Either/OR, Wet Ink, Continuum,
Pamplemousse, Ekmeles, Continuum, and soloists Séverine Ballon, Stephane Ginsburgh,
and David Broome. Alec is the co-founder of Qubit and currently serves as its
co-artistic director. He holds a DMA from Columbia University, an MA from UC San
Diego, and is a 2017 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial fellow.
