This week we feature the artistry of Kimberly Marshall. Dr. Marshall will be playing an all-Bach recital at Saint Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle this Friday at 7:30 PM. She was also the featured artist on The Organ Loft radio program on Sunday.

To celebrate, all Kimberly Marshall recordings are specially priced this week!

Kimberly Marshall maintains an active career as a concert organist, performing in Europe, the US and Asia. Winner of the St. Albans Competition in 1985, she has been invited to play in prestigious venues and has recorded for Radio-France, the BBC, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. A native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, she began her organ studies with John Mueller at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Her early interest in French music took her to France where she worked with Louis Robilliard and Xavier Darasse before returning to the US to complete her undergraduate studies with Fenner Douglass.

In 1986, Kimberly Marshall received the D.Phil. in Music from the University of Oxford with a thesis on the late-medieval organ. She has performed throughout Europe, including concerts in London's Royal Festival Hall and Westminster Cathedral; King's College, Cambridge; Chartres Cathedral; Roskilde Cathedral (Denmark); St. Laurenskerk, Alkmaar (Netherlands); as well as the famous Hildebrandt instrument in Naumburg, Germany, that Bach examined in 1746. She enjoys tailoring programs to different instruments, as is evident from her recordings of Italian and Spanish music on historical organs. Her playing is informed by research into obscure repertoire and performance practice, although she does not limit herself to early music. She gave performances of organ works by Ligeti in the presence of the composer, and she has been an advocate for music by Margaret Sandresky and Ofer Ben-Amots. Her recording of Chen Yi’s organ concerto with the Singapore Symphony was released in 2003 on the BIS label.

Dr. Marshall currently is Professor of Organ and Director of the Arizona State University School of Music.
