Join New England's premier handbell ensemble in its 12th year. 14 energetic performers showcase a uniquely varied program, playing with sensitivity, discipline, and skill on 6 1/2 octaves of Schulmerich handbells and 7 octaves of Malmark handchimes.
The program opens with the pulsing tempo and insistent rhythmic figures of
"Come All Ye Shepherds." Excitement and anticipation build to a mysterious "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence." Sparkling "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," shimmering yet haunting "Stille Nacht," and exhilarating "Tidings of Comfort and Joy" inspire audiences to comment, "I didn't know bells could sound and perform like that!"
