Eliza Marshall
World-touring flautist and creative pioneer.
‘The fabulous flute of Eliza Marshall’ – Peter Gabriel
World-touring flautist and creative pioneer
Vanguard of boundary-pushing folk, Eliza Marshall is a hugely accomplished flautist who has worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, First Aid Kit, Florence & The Machine, and The White Stripes, as well as soloing for the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Royal Ballet.
Cross genre music making has always been at the core of Eliza’s creative world, with a particular love of the music of Scotland and Africa, Steve Reich and Paul Simon. Weaving layers of rhythms, percussion and electronics, spoken word and guitars – as well as her huge array of flutes, whistles and bansuris – Eliza springs forth solo, from two decades of numerous collaborations. Her new sound is as innovative as it is evocative.
From The Whitehouse is Eliza’s funding and creative manager, recently securing grants from Arts Council England’s Develop Your Creative Potential, PRS International Showcase Fund and Women Make Music to support her pioneering solo work.
“Undoubtedly, Eliza Marshall is at the vanguard of experimentation in folk, global and fusion music.” — Tom Besford
‘The other-worldly sound of Eliza’s bansuri is warmly engaging, yet at the same time deeply mysterious’ – Joby Talbot
