Repertoire to be announcedAbout the DirectorDana Marsh is professor of music (early music/voice), chair of Historical Performance, and director of the Historical Performance Institute at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. He coaches singers in historical performance and teaches courses in early notation, performance practice, and musical rhetoric, and has directed Jacobs ensemble recordings for national broadcast on NPR. Beyond IU, Marsh is artistic director of the Washington Bach Consort, where since 2018, he has shaped the ensemble's artistic vision through multi‑year projects and major choral‑orchestral repertoire. The Washington Post has written that under his leadership, the Consort "could go head‑to‑head with period‑performance ensembles anywhere." Marsh focuses on how text, rhetoric, and musical gesture animate historical repertories in performance. As a guest conductor, Marsh has collaborated with leading ensembles in the United States and abroad, including the Choirs and Baroque Orchestra of Washington National Cathedral, Trinity Baroque Orchestra and the Choir of Trinity Wall Street, Cappella Romana, Bach Collegium San Diego, Portland Baroque Orchestra, London Mozart Players, and Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, as well as at the Lamèque International Baroque Festival. Trained as a chorister at St. Thomas Choir School in New York and Salisbury Cathedral, Marsh earned his undergraduate degree in organ performance from the Eastman School of Music and completed master's and doctoral degrees in historical musicology at the University of Oxford. Before focusing primarily on conducting, he enjoyed an international career as a countertenor and consort singer (1992-2008). He was a core member of the Choir of New College, Oxford, recording extensively and touring internationally; one recording received a Gramophone Early Music Award. As a singer, he appeared with ensembles including the Academy of Ancient Music, American Bach Soloists, Musica Angelica, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, and the New York Collegium under Gustav Leonhardt.
