DR. JOSEPH HEBERT
Robert De Cormier, conductor of the All-
State Chorus, is a graduate of the Juilliard
School of Music, where he studied with
Robert Shaw and Julius Herford.
For many years he was conductor and
arranger for Harry Belafonte, which led to
the formation of his own professional
group, the Robert De Cormier Singers,
which tours annually throughout the Unit-
ed States and Canada.
From 1972 until 1977 Mr De Cormier was
director of choral activities at the East-
man School of Music and he is currently
the music director of the New York Choral
Society, a group recently cited as “the fin-
est amateur choir in New York ”
In September 1976 he was music director
for the premiere of a Morton Gould/Caro-
lyn Leigh special bicentennial musical
commission at the Kennedy Center in
Washington.
Mr. De Cormier nas done extensive tele-
vision work, including musical director of
three separate choral series for BBC-TV,
musical director of the NET production of
“Stage For Protest,” based on plays of
Shaw, Baldwin and Brecht, and as musical
director of “American Musical Heritage,”
a CBS series which won the Peabody
Award.
His choral arrangements for Broadway
productions include “Milk And Honey,”
“110 In the Shade,” the ballet “Rainbow
‘Round My Shoulder,” and the cantata
“The Jolly Beggars.”
Mr. De Cormier was responsible for the

terwork’s best selling albums by the Mor-
man Tabernacle Choir in performance

After completing his undergraduate

from which he received two graduate de-
grees.
His educational background includes
master violin study with the world famous
violinist Joseph Szigeti in Montreux, Swit-
zerland, violin and chamber music study
with Hans Letz of the Juilliard School of

oslovakia.

of the University of Arkansas, where he
taught violin and conducting, Marx Pales
became the second resident conductor of
the Huntsville (Alabama) Symphony Or-
chestra, a position he has held for 11 years.
The Orchestra, under Dr. Pales’ direction,
has received two awards from the
American Society of Composers, Authors,
and Publishers (ASCAP) for its “adven-
turesome programming.”
Some of the famed artists who have per-
formed with Dr. Pales in Huntsville are:
Beverly Sills, Donald Gramm, Barry
Tuckwell, Benny Goodman, Eugene Fodo,
Roberta Peters, Leonard Rose, Robert
Merrill, Hans Richter-Haaser, and Dave
Brubeck.

summers.
Characterized by a sensitive interest in
the preparation and training of young mu-
sicians, Don Wilcox, conductor of the All-

the band program at West Virginia Uni-
versity to a position of national recogni-
tion.
The seven active bands rehearsing and
performing in the $12 million Creative Arts
Center provide West Virginia University
students and the university community
with more than 50 performances each
school year.
Each band is unique and they range in
size from more than 330 members in the
“Pride of West Virginia” Marching Band,
to a 45-piece Wind Ensemble which has
performed for national conferences of
MENC and CBDNA and represented the
United States last summer at the first In-
ternational Conference for Symphonic
Bands and Wind Ensembles in Manches-
ter, England.
Following graduation from the Univer-
sity of Michigan and eight years of public
school instrumental music, Mr Wilcox di-
rected outstanding university band pro-
grams in California and Kansas before go-
ing to West Virginia University in 1971.
Working with musicians of all ages and
abilities, Mr. Wilcox has conducted bands
in more than 30 states, Mexico, Canada,
and England, including summer music
camps for the University of Michigan,
University of Wisconsin, University of Illi-
nois, University of Georgia, University of

ed with Jack Jones, Vic Damone, Michele
LaGrande, and Mel Torme.
