About

Known throughout the Southeast for his versatility and expressiveness at the keyboard, Peter Marshall performs on piano, harpsichord, and organ. He has appeared as a soloist with several major American orchestras and has given solo recitals in the United States and abroad. Marshall holds the Hugh and Jessie Hodgson Keyboard Chair at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

As an organist, he has accompanied the orchestra to Carnegie Hall performing Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass (2010) and Britten’s War Requiem (2014). In the ASO’s 2019-2020 season, he appeared as soloist in Bach’s Cantata 29 and in the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony. He returned with the orchestra to Carnegie for Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. Marshall performed Baroque and contemporary chamber music at the AGO Southeast Regional Convention (Atlanta, 2007), and as a recitalist, concerto soloist, and accompanist in numerous ensemble and chamber works in the 2012 Wintergreen (VA) Summer Music Festival.

Active as a collaborative artist and coach in Atlanta since 1993, Marshall is in frequent demand on piano and harpsichord in vocal and instrumental recitals. He has appeared with the contemporary ensemble Bent Frequency, at the Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato, Mexico (2013); and with period instrument ensembles Hesperus, Folger Consort, and Atlanta Baroque Orchestra.

Marshall joined the faculty of the Georgia State University School of Music in 2001. He chaired the organ department at the Catholic University of America from 1984 to 1993 and served as Chapel Organist at Duke University 1981-84. He holds degrees from Oberlin College and Yale University and studied at the Musikhochschule Lübeck as a Fulbright Scholar.
