Anne Marshman's research and writings have been published in books and journals in North America, Europe, and Australia. Her most recent publication is a volume of essays, 'Performers' Voices Across Centuries and Cultures', for Imperial College Press, London (2011).
Other published works cover a range
of subjects across several disciplines, including
musical applications of Mikhail Bakhtin’s literary
and linguistic theories, relationships between music
and Carl Jung’s analytical psychology, musical
reception, and the music of Mozart, Stravinsky, and
Tippett. Dr Marshman has been invited to present her
research at numerous international conferences in
Europe, North America, Australasia, and Asia. In
October 2009, she directed the Yong Siew Toh
Conservatory’s highly successful inaugural
performance studies symposium, ‘The Performer's
Voice: An International Forum for Music Performance
& Scholarship’, with responsibility for original
conceptualization, programming, chairing the
international review committee, and overall
executive management. The symposium attracted 170 delegates from around the globe (6 continents).
Until 2002 Anne Marshman pursued a career as an
oboist in Australia and South-East Asia. At the age
of 22 she won the position of Co-Principal Oboe with
Orchestra Victoria and she has played regularly with
Australia's top orchestras and with the
internationally acclaimed Malaysian Philharmonic
Orchestra. Her diverse performance career also
encompasses solo and chamber music concerts, tours
with the Bolshoi Ballet and Royal Ballet companies,
music theatre, film scores, and pop concerts. She
has performed with such luminaries as Mstislav
Rostropovich, Kiri Te Kanawa, Lynn Harrell, Barry
Tuckwell, Olivia Newton John, and INXS.
