Concert Handbells gets in the spirit for an unusually lively concert

They perform for thousands regionally and on tour throughout the year, this May traveling to Montana and Alberta, eastern Washington and Western North Dakota.
They perform a wide range of sacred and secular works appealing to all ages and tastes, from Bach to ragtime and Tchaikovsky to African drumming, concluding with their unique hands-on audience participation sing-along. Children are especially intrigued by the visual and aural energy of the performance.
