We’ll wrap up our concert season in one of our favorite spots: the atrium of the Main Columbus Metropolitan Library downtown. We’ll play some gorgeous original compositions by Arnold Sherman, Kevin McChesney, Sandra Eithun, and Jason Krug on 5 octaves of bells and 7 octaves of chimes.

This is the final concert of our season, and the last under the baton of our Artistic Director, Jarod Ogier. Don’t miss it!

We spent last weekend ringing and learning together at the Area 5 - Handbell Musicians of America Spring Festival in Muncie, IN. We joined more than 300 other handbell ringers under the baton of Jason W. Krug, Composer. Can you tell we like those big bass bells!? Thanks to Jason and the Area 5 Board!
