Handbell Solo Artist Michèle Sharik in concert

Michèle Sharik brings her passion and talent for music to the ancient art of bell ringing. She does so with a unique style that combines tradition with innovation.

Like the 18th century “Musical Academies,” Michèle will present a selection of favorite musical miniatures in a variety of styles, weaving together a tapestry of music and story that will take the listener on a journey from Renaissance England to the Golden Gate, and all points in between.

Internationally renowned for her graceful and flowing style, Michèle is knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and deeply soulful in her music-making, even as she lifts more than 250 lbs. of bronze in her own dance-like choreography.

Michèle will be accompanied by Dr. Valerie Sterk. Reception to follow. Tickets $25/$18
