Christopher Norton is Professor of Music and Director of Percussion Studies at Belmont University. He received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Louisiana State University, and his Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from the Eastman School of Music. He often performs with the Nashville Symphony, Nashville Chamber Orchestra, and Jack Daniel’s Silver Cornet Band. Norton’s dog really likes his solo marimba CD entitled “Christopher Norton: Creston Concertino for Marimba,” and his family doesn’t object to it. His favorite music is his children’s laughter and anything his wife plays on horn.
