He made his debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1919, and after a wide-ranging European career settled back in South Africa in 1939, where he became a teacher at the University of the Witwatersrand. He died in South Africa in 1987.During his career Hallis premiered numerous works, including piano concertos by Alan Rawsthorne and Erik Chisholm.
