Chris Norman is a world-renowned wooden-flute virtuoso, composer, teacher, flute-maker and founder/director of the international Boxwood Festivals.

Equally legendary in the early music and traditional world, David Greenberg, has for over three decades built a distinctive dual career as a Baroque violinist and Cape Breton fiddler, performing, teaching and recording worldwide with leading early music ensembles (including Tafelmusik,
Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, and Apollo’s Fire) and co-founding groups such as Puirt
A Baroque. His deep fluency in both genres makes him uniquely gifted at bridging 18th-century repertoire and traditional Scottish-inspired music.
