A recent Fulbright Fellow hailing from Western New York, Nathan Hall has degrees from Vassar College (BA) and Carnegie Mellon University (MM), and is currently pursuing a DMA in composition at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Nathan pursues many artistic outlets, both in the States and abroad. He has primarily focused in classical music, writing chamber works for commissioned ensembles. He has written award-winning chamber and symphonic works; his first work for orchestra, 'Lake Mývatn', was selected for performance by the Pittsburgh Symphony, and in 2009-10 Nathan received a Charm Bracelet Microgrant to create site-specific performances based on historical monuments and urban spaces.

Nathan's collaborative works include a duo album of compositions with musician David Bernabo, and graphic scores, recordings, and performances with artist Rhona Byrne. He has also created sound sculpture for exhibit in Pittsburgh's SPACE gallery. As a Fulbright Fellow in 2010-11, Nathan researched contemporary Icelandic music and created works that explored the relationships between Iceland's people and their landscape.
