CLASSICAL GUITAR RECITAL PLANNED AT ST. LAWRENCE

CANTON - Award-winning guitarist Joseph Shields will give a recital 
at St. Lawrence University on Sunday, November 4, at 4 p.m. in Gilbert 
Recital Hall. The performance will include works by Bach, Villa-Lobos 
and Shields, among others, and it is open to the public, free of charge.
	A Yale University graduate, Shields performs frequently as a 
recitalist and chamber musician. Recent performances include the U.S. 
and world premieres of works by Lois Vierk and Adam Silverman and a 
performance with soprano Marilyn Mulvey. He was awarded Yale's 2000 
Eliot Fisk Prize, which goes to "an outstanding guitarist."
	Shields' compositions for guitar, published by Tuscany 
Publications, have drawn praise from audiences and artists alike. In 
addition to being a performer, composer and teacher, he has served 
on the faculties of Shawnee State and Marshall University.
	The recital is supported by the Birdsong Endowment for Music, 
established in 1999 to bring visiting musicians or musical groups to 
campus to enhance music education.
