Kimberly Marshall maintains an active career as an organist, performing regularly in the US and Europe. She has previously held teaching positions at Stanford University and the Royal Academy of Music, London. She is attracted to the organ’s vast possibilities of timbre and musical texture, and her work reflects enthusiasm for creativity and historical awareness. 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 her recording of Chen Yi’s organ concerto with the Singapore Symphony was released in 2003 on the BIS label. Her most recent CD, A Fantasy through Time (with accompanying DVD), features music from the 16th-20th centuries. Kimberly Marshall is often invited to perform at conventions and festivals. She is a frequent recitalist and workshop leader at National Conventions of the American Guild of Organists. In 2001, she appeared in Seoul for the Korean Association of Organists and in Toronto for the Royal College of Canadian Organists. She was a featured artist for the 2007 Early English Organ Project in Oxford and for the Oaxaca Historical Organ Festival in Mexico. In 2009, she performed for the Region IX AGO Convention held in Phoenix. She currently holds the Patricia and Leonard Goldman Endowed Professorship in Organ at Arizona State University and serves as Director of the ASU School of Music. A review of Dr. Marshall’s performance for the national convention of the American Guild of Organists in July 2010 extolls her as “a multi-faceted musician” who “pushed the organ to its limit with her virtuosic demands in playing and registration….This was a royal performance by one of our royalty!” When Worlds Collide Music for Saxophone and Organ October 9, 2011 2:30 pm ASU Organ Hall Program Cathedral for alto saxophone and organ (1993) Concertino, Op. 78 composed for the 1861 entrance exam at the Paris Conservatoire Kirk O’Riordan b. 1968 Jean-Baptise Singelée (1812-1875) Concerto for oboe, strings and basso continuo in D minor played on soprano saxophone accompanied by the Traeri organ Andante e spiccato Adagio Presto Alessandro Marcello (1684-1750) Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) Joie et clarté des corps glorieux solo organ Abîme des oiseaux from Quartet for the end of time originally for solo clarinet Vocalise-Étude played on alto saxophone with organ accompaniment The Seventh Seal for organ and alto saxophone (2002) The Devil’s Rag (1988) Mischa Zupko b. 1971 Jean Matitia (Christian Lauba) b. 1952 Hailed as a “master of his instrument” (Audiophile Audition) known for his “flamboyant” and “riveting” performances (Los Angeles Times), “evocative and bravura playing” (Chicago Classical Review), "virtuoso artistry" (The Saxophone Symposium), "impeccable musicianship" (American Record Guide), "warmth and agility" (The Sacramento Bee) and "beautifully rounded tone" (The Ann Arbor News), Timothy McAllister is one of America's leading concert saxophone performers and teachers.
