Save the date for a world-class handbell concert from one of the nation's top handbell programs. Concordia's annual Home Handbell Concert is a showcase of sacred, classical, popular, and new music - using over 140 handbells, hand chimes and other instruments. This will be the last public concert to be held in Concordia's CU-Center before it is closed for renovation. This is your last chance to experience the CU-Center in its original state. We hope you'll join us for this special occasion the whole family will love! Student artwork to commemorate the CU Center will be on display.

They have performed in 12 nations of Asia, Europe, and Australia as well as 38 states and provinces of North America. Together, they perform some of the highest difficulty of handbell repertoire at a virtuosic level, including original compositions written by faculty and student composers. They are also featured annually across the nation during Concordia’s made-for-TV PBS Special.
