The ringers are directed by Dr. Herbert Geisler and coached by Nancy Jessup. These ringers have performed to high acclaim in 27 states and provinces across the U.S. and Canada as well as 11 Asian and European nations. They perform for thousands regionally and on tour throughout the year, this May traveling to Hungary and Austria.
They perform a wide range of sacred and secular works, old and new, from Bach to pop and Tchaikovsky ballet to African drumming, appealing to all ages and tastes, concluding with their unique hands-on audience participation sing-along. Children are especially intrigued by the visual and aural energy of the performance.
A free-will donation will be gathered. Free parking is available.
