WOODEN-FLUTE PERFORMER TO GIVE SLU CONCERT

CANTON - Chris Norman, a performer on the wooden flute, will give 
a concert on Monday, October 15, at 8 p.m. in Gulick Theatre at 
St. Lawrence University. The event is open to the public, free of 
charge.
	The program will include traditional music from Maritime 
Canada and Scotland, plus some original compositions by Norman. 
Also performing will be Norman's partner, Robin Bullock, on guitar 
and cittern. Two local musicians, Laura Rediehs and Chris Neurath, 
will join the artists in the performance of a piece written by an 
18th-century Scottish composer.
	A member of The Baltimore Consort, the international folk-music 
trio Helicon and the Celtic-fusion group Skyedance, Norman is known 
for his "expressive playing, engaging personality and breadth of 
repertoire that encompasses Canadian, Scottish and Irish traditional 
music." His flute-playing is featured on the soundtrack of the 1997 
film Titanic, and his CD on the Dorian label, Man With The Wooden Flute, 
made the Billboard crossover charts for 12 weeks.
	Norman and Bullock will also offer a free workshop in traditional 
music, on Sunday, October 14, at 6 p.m. in Gilbert Recital Hall. 
Performers on any melody instrument - traditional or "concert" - or any 
plucked string instrument are welcome as players/participants. 
Participation is limited to 25 people; to register, contact Alice Hessert 
by phone (315-229-5173), e-mail (ahessert@stlawu.edu) or mail (Music 
Department, St. Lawrence University, 23 Romoda Drive, Canton, NY 13617). 
Registrants should include their name, phone number, mailing address, 
e-mail address and the instrument they will play during the workshop. 
Those interested in traditional music may also attend the workshop as 
observers and listeners.
	The two events are supported at St. Lawrence by the Birdsong 
Endowment for the Arts and co-sponsored by Traditional Arts in Upstate 
New York (TAUNY).
