Black Creek Arts Council is pleased to honor Dr. Jim Beaumier with the Artist’s Spotlight for July. Dr. Beaumier has earned this honor through his passionate dedication and service to the arts community in Darlington County. Beaumier is the current Director of the Hartsville Civic Chorale, as well as the leader of the chorale program at Hartsville High School.
Beaumier’s love and dedication for music derives from his musical family. Beaumier grew up in a house with musically-minded parents and very talented siblings. With music engrained as a way of life, Beaumier decided to study music in college. Eventually, he earned a doctorate degree from the University of Southern California.
Beaumier moved to Hartsville about twenty years ago to direct Coker College’s chorale program. Five years ago, he made the move to build the chorale program at Hartsville High School.
For the past twenty years, under Beaumier’s direction, the Civic Chorale puts on at least two concerts a year. He has directed the Civic Chorale to perform semi-professional musical repertoire. The Civic Chorale has performed many major works, such as Bach’s Mass in B Minor. Most recently, the Civic Chorale performed a concert featuring the works of famous American composer and pianist, George Gershwin. Beaumier notes that the Civic Chorale not only performs the Classics, but also a variety of popular music.
Beaumier is very grateful for the support that the Hartsville Civic Chorale receives from its community. Forty-five members of the community sing in the Civic Chorale. Beaumier states that these people “represent a large cross section of the community.”
Beaumier is truly a great asset to Hartsville High School’s chorale program. He understands that the arts can benefit children and that early exposure and experience with the arts can have long-lasting, positive impact on people’s lives. Dr. Beaumier is a firm believer that “the arts, in general, can do many things for children. It can teach children how to gain self-confidence and self-worth. It can teach children how to work hard as well as how to be good at ‘something’. Children who are introduced into some kind of arts program will be taught not only how to be creative, but how to develop life long skills.”
Beaumier’s ties to the Coker, the school district, and the community make him the ideal recipient for an honor such as The Artist’s Spotlight. Black Creek Arts Council appreciates all that you do for the arts in Darlington County.
