During this ½ day event, you will hone and refresh your ringing skills by learning a piece of music under the tutelage of Concordia's Handbell Faculty and members of Concordia's top ensemble. If your full ensemble comes, you will have a piece of music ready to perform with only 1 or 2 more rehearsals. The format for the workshop is a typical rehearsal of a piece interspersed with technique workshops.  We will review proper technique as well as proper execution of articulations, all the while having fun doing what we love. All Church, Community, and high school ensembles or individual ringers are welcome!

The afternoon will culminate in a concert featuring each participating ensemble and the Concordia University Handbell ensembles. The intention of this event is to learn, experience the greater handbell community, and perform for an audience of handbell fans in our beautiful concert hall. Full ensembles, partial ensembles, and individual ringers are all welcome. 

Ensembles will need to bring their own handbells, pads, cloths, etc. We will provide tables. We may  be able to provide substitute ringers if you have gaps in your ensemble. Ensembles are invited to perform 1 or 2 pieces during the afternoon concert. This will be a fantastic performance opportunity! 

This event is endorsed by Handbell Musicians of America, dedicated to uniting people through the musical art of handbell and handchime ringing. www.handbellmusicians.org
