Timeline
In 2019, Hall was diagnosed with kidney failure. He died on 11 May 2022, at the age of 82.
In 1982, Hall was appointed Special Consultant to the United Nations Center Against Apartheid, and in 2000 he was asked by Kofi Annan to be Ambassador-at-Large of a network of charitable organizations called the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (WANGO).
Drawing inspiration from the civil rights movement, Hall conceived and founded in 1972 the Bloomsbury International Society to promote racial harmony particularly through music; intercultural performances he orchestrated brought together instruments and musical traditions from the Caribbean, Asia and Africa, as well as from Europe and North America. As described by Moni Basu in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Sitar met violin. Westminster Abbey resounded with the twang of the Ebony Steel Band. And the Commonwealth Institute marked its golden jubilee with Queen Elizabeth II in the audience and the thumping of Ashanti drums accompanying baroque brass on stage."
Hall studied at Keble College, Oxford, graduating with highest honours (B.A. in 1962, M.A. in 1966). While at Keble, "he not only picked up a penetrating Oxford accent but also represented the university as a sprinter and played cricket for the Authentics." He subsequently became an Associate of the Royal College of Organists, was assistant organist at St-Martin-in-the-Fields, sang at Southwark Cathedral, and from 1964 to 1966 was a member of the Sunday Evening Choir at St Paul's Cathedral. He would also obtain a PhD in ethnomusicology at the University of London. In 1966, he went to Ghana, where he was director of music at Achimota School. After returning, he took up the appointment of Organist and Director of Music at the Church of Christ the King, Bloomsbury, and after seven years went to the Church of St. Michael's in Chester Square, Belgravia.
Ian Hall (18 January 1940 – 11 May 2022) was a Guyanese-born British musician, composer, organist and educator. Also a human rights activist, Hall was quoted in 2003 as saying: "My real thing in life has been promoting racial harmony through the arts." He was founder of the Bloomsbury International Society, through which he orchestrated musical performances "merging Western instruments with sounds from the Caribbean, Asia and Africa."
Hall was born in Georgetown, Guyana, on 18 January 1940. His mother died when he was six years old, after which he was raised by his grandmother. His father had been the first black officer to join the Royal Air Force during World War II, then going to study dentistry at Guy's Hospital in London, and in 1952 Hall moved to Britain to join him. Hall won a scholarship to attend Archbishop Tenison's Grammar School, where he was one of the first black pupils. During a summer holiday when he was 14 years old, in response to a music teacher's challenge that he needed to make more effort, Hall taught himself classical piano, practising day and night until, as he recalled in a 2003 interview: "I was playing the preludes and fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach."
