'Christmas at Belmont' Showcases Belmont's Musical Talent
From the first notes of "Festival Fanfare of Christmas" to the parting strains of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," the 2007 "Christmas at Belmont" holiday concert Nov. 19 again provided undeniable proof of Belmont School of Music students' talent. Taped live in front of a full house in the Laura Turner Concert Hall of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the annual performance featured Belmont alumnus Melinda Doolittle ('99) as host for the evening.

Belmont Chosen as Site for 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate
The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced Nov. 19 that Belmont University will host the Town Hall Presidential Debate on Oct. 7, 2008. Belmont was one of 16 sites nationwide under consideration to host one of three presidential, or one vice presidential, debates. Tennessee has been home to three former United States Presidents—Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson and James K. Polk—but this will be the first time a presidential debate has been held in Tennessee.
“It is a distinct privilege to be chosen to host the Town Hall Presidential Debate,” Belmont President Bob Fisher said. “This opportunity will provide an invaluable educational experience to our students, allowing them to observe firsthand our nation’s political process and to be participants in American history. We are also pleased that the candidates and all of our distinguished guests will have an opportunity to witness the many benefits offered by the greater Nashville community.” For more on this story, click here.
