Kimberly Marshall maintains an active career
as an organist and scholar, performing regularly in North America,
Asia, and Europe. She is the newly appointed director of the School of Music at The Katherine K. Herberger College of the Arts at Arizona State University, currently holds the Patricia and Leonard
Goldman Endowed Professorship of Organ at Arizona State University
and serves as Artist-in-Residence for Trinity Episcopal Cathedral,
Phoenix. She previously held teaching positions at the Royal Academy
of Music, London, and Stanford University. In 1985, she won first
prize in the international St. Albans Competition, resulting in
prestigious concerts (Royal Festival Hall, London, and Chartres
Cathedral) and a recording contract with the BBC. The following
year, she received the D.Phil. in Music from the University of
Oxford.
Kimberly’s compact disc recordings feature
music of the Italian and Spanish Renaissance, French Classical
and Romantic periods, and works by J. S. Bach. Her concert engagements
include Notre-Dame, Paris, St. Paul's Cathedral, London, King's
College, Cambridge, Uppsala Cathedral, and the Dormition Abbey
in Jerusalem. She enjoys tailoring programs to the styles of the
instruments she plays and has performed on many historical organs,
such as the Couperin organ at Saint-Gervais, Paris, the Gothic
organ in Sion, Switzerland, and the Cahman organ in Leufstabruk,
Sweden.
Kimberly has been a recitalist and workshop
leader during recent National Conventions of the American Guild
of Organists (Dallas, 1994; New York, 1996; Denver, 1998; Seattle,
2000; Los Angeles 2004). From 1996 to 2000, she was affiliated
with the Organ Research Center in Göteborg, Sweden, where
she taught and performed; under the aegis of GOArt, she organized
the conference “The Organ in Recorded Sound,” and
has edited the proceedings of this, the first-ever conference
devoted to sound recordings of the organ. During the summer of
2001, she appeared in Seoul for the Korean Association of Organists
and in Toronto for the Convention of the Royal College of Canadian
Organists. Her recording of Chen Yi’s organ concerto with
the Singapore Symphony was released in 2003 on the BIS label,
and her recording of late-medieval organ music, “Gothic
Pipes,” was released by Loft Recordings in 2004.
Kimberly spent last semester on sabbatical
in Pistoia, Italy, where she researched early Italian organ music
and performed on many European historical organs, including the
famous instrument in Naumburg, Germany, which Bach examined. During
the summer of 2006, she presented concerts and workshops on early
music in Sweden and Israel, and she will be a featured artist
for the 2007 Early English Organ Project in Oxford.
