Emily Hall

Emily Hall is a British composer, violinist and producer whose music grows from close collaborations with singers, instrumentalists and writers. Her work spans song, opera and instrumental music, alongside electronics and improvisation.

Her Bedroom Community releases include Folie à Deux (2015), conceived with Sjón as both an opera and a concept album, bringing two voices together with a specially created electromagnetic harp. Life Cycle (2018) sets Toby Litt’s texts on motherhood, forming part of their trilogy of song cycles about love, motherhood and death.

She is also one half of Mandel with composer and violinist Misha Law. Their Nha Trang, Mini Suite (2021) emerged from improvisation and was released by Bedroom Community.
