Strad Magazine has described the unique emotion and vitality in Eliza Marshall's flute performances as ‘shimmering’. These qualities rest on the solid foundation Eliza gained from a classical degree at the Royal Academy of Music, where she studied with Michael Cox and received the Christopher Taylor Flute Award for 'Outstanding Flautist'.
Eliza already has an international career within all aspects of classical music. Orchestral playing has taken her to Japan, The Seychelles, India, Africa and the U.S.A., working with orchestras such as The Royal Ballet Sinfonia, the London Mozart Players and the National Symphony Orchestra.
Solo work has included numerous recitals throughout the U.K. and abroad, including Mozart’s Flute and Harp Concerto in Brussels. Eliza is extremely experienced as a chamber musician, performing with her trio, The Korros Ensemble, at festivals such Ashford, Swaledale and Birr Castle as part of their Irish tour. She recently recorded a new commission for chamber ensemble with Edward Vanderspar, principal Viola with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Eliza has been involved in many contemporary commisions from young composers and those more established – especially Joby Talbot and John McCabe. These have resulted in performances which include Ballet Rambert, in venues such as the Royal Opera House, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wembley Stadium and Earl’s Court.
Her versatility as a performer has also led her to the commercial world, recording for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, performing with artists as diverse as Katie Melua, Alfie Boe and Bonnie Tyler on TOTP, RADIO 2 and the Michael Parkinson Show. Her playing can also be heard on albums such as Travis, The Divine Comedy, Groove Armada and The White Stripes.
Eliza regularly plays for the West End Shows of The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and The Lord of the Rings. She also finds time to run her own monthly Classical Music Concert Series – The Little Proms – in the heart of Soho. The Little Proms – which are becoming increasingly renowned – bring classical music from a whole array of performers to a typically non-classical environment, and to an often unsuspecting – yet invariably delighted – new audience.
