Thomas Charles Marshall (Organ)

Thomas Charles Marshall lives in Westmeath. He studied organ with Shane Brennan at the Schola Cantorum St Finian’s College, Mullingar; Peter Hurford at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Sanae Yamada in Takasaki, Japan and with David Adams at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. He is the Director of Music and Organist at St Ann’s Church, Dawson St. Dublin as well as the Dublin Male Voice Choir and the Kildare Cathedral Singers. He lived in Japan for 14 years and is regarded as an exponent of the Japanese traditional instrument called the Satsuma biwa, a four-string lute. He recently completed a tour of Japan performing a series of events themed around Lafcadioa Hearn with Triona Marshall on Irish harp under the auspices of Culture Ireland. He writes at satsumabiwa.eu
