about
Described as “…a guitarist of superb technical accomplishment and a musician of perception and style” (Dominion Post), Matthew Marshall is passionate about enhancing and expanding the repertoire of the classical guitar, particularly through music from his native New Zealand, exploring innovative approaches to playing and introducing unusual and intriguing music to the world. “For an instrument and its music to evolve and for it to flourish, composers of every generation must write for it, and their music must be performed and heard. This is really important to me and I love exploring new musical ideas and experimenting with new techniques on the guitar – and of course encouraging others to do so too.” In a performing and recording career spanning more than 30 years, Matthew has brought his unique interpretations and original musical personality to over 2000 performances on four continents and even from Iceland to Siberia and on to Easter Island! His work has also resulted in a series of highly praised recordings of solo, chamber music and orchestral music featuring his playing. His 2015 album Rhapsody on a Riff (Ravello Records, USA) was described as “Soft, moody, provocative. Over forty-five minutes of pure, resonant guitar playing.” (Babysue magazine, USA) Enjoying diverse interests and a varied career as an award winning musician, academic leader and festival director (and keen auto restorer!), Matthew was born into an artistic family and began learning guitar at age
