EMBER SWIFT TO PERFORM AT ST. LAWRENCE

CANTON - Canadian musician Ember Swift will perform 
at St. Lawrence University on Saturday, February 16, at 
9 p.m. in Eben Holden, as part of the 2002 Festival of 
the Arts, titled "Remapping the Goddess: Global Visions." 
The concert is open to the public, free of charge.
	Swift has been described as a "brilliant jazz 
vocalist inhabiting the body of an alternative punk-folk 
singer-songwriter." She is a self-taught guitarist and 
percussionist, as well as a trained pianist. Her most 
recent full-length release is the 2000 live album The Wage 
Is The Stage.
	The St. Lawrence University Festival of the Arts 
is February 16 through March 7 and includes a variety of 
performances, exhibitions, lectures, discussions and other 
events, all exploring "the shifting representations and 
cultic practices of female deities in their own locale and 
in translation to other contexts."
