Simon Marlow enjoys a busy musical career with frequent concert appearances in Britain and many other European countries as well as recitals in the United States, Sri Lanka and Iceland. He has broadcasted and made several recordings. Simon has worked for many years with the Medici Quartet violist, Ivo-Jan van der Werff with whom he has toured and recorded, notably a disc of all the viola/piano works of Arnold Bax. Recently Simon took part in a Dutch project to perform and record music composed by Nietzsche, which also included works by other composers who were inspired by his philosophy. As is not unusual, his life has taken a number of unexpected directions. These have included working for ten years with the Lucis Trust, an educational charity, becoming involved in various human and world welfare movements and also forays into local politics.
