Shortly after graduating from the Royal College of Music, Julian Marshall’s professional life as a composer and songwriter took flight in the late 1970s with the internationally successful bands Marshall Hain, The Flying Lizards and Eye to Eye. His compositions include work for film and theatre and a new chapter as a composer of longer-form work (the cantatas Out of the Darkness, The Angel in the Forest), along with other choral-based pieces, began in 2009.
In 2021 he formed Blueberry Lake Arts – a production home and on-line performance space for new work, solo and collaborative. BLA is also host and home to The Welten Project – an evolving, arts-based initiative founded by Julian Marshall October in 2021. The Welten Project mission is to conduct research and produce a series of works inspired by re-imagining or setting poems from Welten, the 17-poem cycle by Gertrud Kolmar.
Julian teaches and coaches creatives of all ages. He is a Teaching Fellow at ICMP, London.
