HARPSICHORDIST TO GIVE RECITAL AT ST. LAWRENCE

CANTON -- Gavin Black, harpsichordist, will give a recital at 
St. Lawrence University on Friday, April 14, at 8 p.m. in the 
Gilbert Recital Hall, Griffiths Arts Center.
	Black, the James Hutchison visiting keyboardist for 2000, 
will also give a workshop on Saturday, April 15, at 10 a.m. in Gilbert 
Recital Hall. Both events are open to the public, free of charge.
	The recital will include performances of works by Sweelinck, 
Buxtehude, Bull, Frescobaldi, Storace and Cabanilles. The workshop 
will be informal, with students playing for commentary and Black explaining 
differences of three harpsichords available for participants to try.
	Black teaches organ and harpsichord at Westminster Choir 
College of Rider University and the Westminster Conservatory of Music 
in Princeton, New Jersey. Known especially as a performer of 17th-century 
keyboard repertoire, he has recorded the music of many composers for 
PGM Recordings and has an upcoming release on Titanic Records. Black is 
also an authority on the design and construction of baroque keyboard 
instruments and has served as a consultant on several organ- and 
harpsichord-building projects.
