BIOGRAPHY
John Marshall has been the Principal Cellist with the Spokane Symphony Orchestra since 1994. He holds a joint teaching position at Eastern Washington University, where he is Director of Orchestra and Professor of Cello. Marshall is also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Symphony's Strings Orchestra. He received degrees from Indiana, Yale, and Northwestern Universities, where he studied with Janos Starker, Aldo Parisot and Hans Jensen. His doctoral dissertation focuses on music for two cellos and orchestra. During the summers, Marshall teaches at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan.
Along with his wife, Spokane Symphony Principal Bassoonist Lynne Feller-Marshall, Marshall has recorded three CDs of music for cello and bassoon under their group name "Paradox." Paradox also recorded two innovative and fun videos featuring their arrangements of Take Five and Purple Haze. Both videos are available on YouTube.
When not performing with the Spokane Symphony, teaching, or recording CDs, Marshall enjoys time with his family in the great outdoors — either by biking, soaking in hot springs, or driving in his favorite convertible.
