Biography:
David Owen Norris’s work is unusually varied. To pick a few highlights from the autumn of 2006, he records Richard Arnell’s Piano Concerto and Joseph Horowitz’s Jazz Concerto. His new oratorio Prayerbook was sung by the Oxford Bach Choir, conducted by Nicholas Cleobury, in Dorchester Abbey. He accompanies Philip Langridge (with whom he recorded Winterreise on fortepiano) in Britten song-cycles in Frankfurt. He was invited to the Annual Conference of the American Musicological Society in Los Angeles to play Elgar. With Amanda Pitt he initiates a new strand of programming, Songs & Pictures, opening in Nottingham and moving on to the National Gallery in Washington DC. He is making two radio programmes on Art in the Church.
Norris is a founder-member of the new group THE WORKS, who started the 7 Locks Festival in September 2006. Schools’ workshops are an important feature – 500 children played a Square Piano of 1781, and 200 more were mesmerised

Madonna Louise Ciccone[a] (chih-KOH-nee; born August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. Commonly known as the "Queen of Pop", she has been recognized for her continual reinvention and versatility in music production, songwriting and visual presentation. Madonna's works, which incorporate social, political, sexuell, and religious themes, have generated both controversy and critical acclaim. A cultural icon spanning both the 20th and 21st centuries, Madonna has become the subject of various scholarly, literary and artistic works, as well as a mini academic sub-discipline called Madonna studies.
Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in dance. Aft
