Born in Halifax Nova Scotia, Chris Norman began his formal musical studies at the age of ten. His interest in the traditional music of Maritime Canada; Scottish, Irish and French Canadian Styles, drew him from his early path studying classical flute. Mr. Norman embarked upon a quest to learn the music from the tradition bearers, travelling across North America and Europe in the 1980's apprenticing himself with older players. His subsequent work has explored and redefined the boundaries of both traditional and early-music genres, forging a synthesis that has been embraced by audiences, scholars, and critics alike.
Mr. Norman appears frequently as soloist with orchestra and touring with his own Chris Norman Ensemble. In years past Mr. Norman has also appeared worldwide as a member of the international folk trio, Helicon, and the all-star Celtic fusion group, Skyedance, and the acclaimed early music group, The Baltimore Consort and across Europe with Concerto Caledonia.
Mr. Norman’s flute playing can be heard in the Oscar-winning soundtrack Titanic as well as other films including Stone of Destiny and Soldier. His solo CD debut Man With the Wooden Flute made the Billboard crossover charts for 12 weeks. Since that time Mr. Norman has collaborated, toured and recorded with some of today's most seminal artists in the genres of early music and traditional folk music.
As a composer Mr. Norman is the recipient of numerous grants and commissions. Recent works include Out of Orkney, a tone poem for flute, harp, and string orchestra, and The Sunshine of St. Eulalie commissioned by the Ohio State University Flute Choir. His compositions have been featured on National Public Radio, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and the British Broadcasting Corporation, as well as concert halls in Europe, North America Australia and New Zealand.
Mr. Norman regularly teaches master classes and has conducted symposia at many schools of music around the world. He is the founder and director of the Boxwood Festivals and Workshops; an annual week-long festival that takes place in Nova Scotia, New Zealand, and Taiwan. In each case, Boxwood's participants join with members of the local community to explore points of contact between music, dance, and language. Under Mr. Norman's guidance, Boxwood has grown into a prominent educational and artistic endeavor running for 16 years. Visit his website at www.chrisnorman.com.
David Greenberg taught himself folk fiddle tunes by ear as a young child growing up in Maryland. He learned conventional classical violin through his teens, and in the 1980s he studied baroque violin with Stanley Ritchie at Indiana University's Early Music Institute. Mr. Greenberg spent the 1990s performing and recording with Tafelmusik while developing a specialty in Scottish baroque-folk music, recording three CDs in this genre with his group Puirt A Baroque. Immersing himself in Cape Breton traditional music, he also co-authored The DunGreen Collection, a treatise on Cape Breton fiddle music, with his wife Kate Dunlay. He lives with his family in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and directs the Tempest baroque ensemble there. Visit his website at www.dungreen.com.
