Eli Marshall (1977-    )

Eli Marshall, composerEli Marshall is a Maine born composer living in Beijing. He studied at Simon’s Rock College of Bard, the Yale School of Music, and the Curtis Institute of Music. Since 2003, when moving to China as a Fulbright Fellow, he has written for orchestras and ensembles of the region, devised innovative programs as artistic director of Beijing New Music Ensemble, and tailored new compositions toward unconventional venues. In 2007, he won first place in the Morton Gould competition for young composers (of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers), the Leo Kaplan Award, recognizing him as a leading composer of his generation. In the 2008-09 season, he was awarded a Douglas Moore Fellowship, which placed him in residencies with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Metropolitan Opera of New York, and Seattle Opera. His artistic collaborations have included a score with Wu Tong (of the Silk Road Ensemble) for film director Wong Kar-wai’s latest project Ashes of Time Redux. Unconventional venues for his works have included the Gak-won Sa (one of the largest Buddhist temples in Korea), an abandoned factory in Beijing, and the Smithsonian Institution, which featured his music for six months with an installation by Mei-ling Hom. More than a dozen of his orchestral works have been performed on three continents.
