UMES Concert Choir performs under new director<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRINCESS ANNE, MD-(Oct. 27, 2011) When the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Concert Choir takes to the stage Nov. 13 for its annual fall concert, the group will be under a new director for the first time in 21 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Roy Belfield, a native of Petersburg, Va., will fulfill his goal of directing a college choir when he leads the 20-member choir for the first time at 4 p.m. in the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belfield came to UMES this past August as associate professor of music and director of choral activities at the university.  He was the assistant director of choral activities at Winston-Salem State University for four years prior to coming to UMES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belfield is a published composer and arranger.  “My choral compositions have literally pulled me into conducting,” Belfield said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under his direction, the choir will perform works by Rosephanye Powell, Adolphus Hailstork, Rene Clausen and R. Nathaniel Dett among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I look forward to the students realizing their hard work in rehearsals has paid off,” Belfield said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Troy Banks of Salisbury University will be the guest accompanist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert is free and open to the public.  Call 410-651-6571 for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
