PIANIST RANDALL ATCHESON TO PERFORM AT ST. LAWRENCE

CANTON -- Musician Randall Atcheson will perform in concert at 
St. Lawrence University on Tuesday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m. in Gulick 
Theatre. The event -- the inaugural performance sponsored by the 
Birdsong Endowment for Music -- is open to the public, free of charge.
	The only student in the history of the Juilliard School of 
Music ever allowed to pursue and receive simultaneous degrees in piano 
and organ performance, Atcheson won the Juilliard organ competition and 
gave the premiere performance on the new pipe organ at Alice Tully Hall 
at Lincoln Center. He has recorded 10 albums, featuring both classical 
music and his unique arrangements of sacred music.
	Atcheson made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1991; following that, 
he was added to the distinguished international roster of Steinway Artists. 
He played his fifth Carnegie Hall concert in the fall of 1999.
	The Birdsong Endowment for Music was established in 1999 through 
the generosity of Lynn '68 and Terry '69 Birdsong, of Greenwich, Connecticut, 
to bring visiting musicians or musical groups to campus to enhance music 
education.
