Circle City Ringers is an auditioned, bronze-level* community handbell ensemble located in the greater Indianapolis, Indiana area. The group is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization and is a proud member of the Handbell Musicians of America (http://handbellmusicians.org/) (formerly known as AGEHR). Our mission is to:

• Increase awareness of the art of English Handbell ringing

• Provide ongoing edu

cation about English Handbell techniques

• Build a distinguished reputation by performing locally and nationally in both sacred and secular contexts

• Achieve musical excellence as a professional-grade community ensemble, and

• Encourage others to learn about and experience the art of English Handbell ringing

Each season we actively recruit, audition, and select the finest handbell musicians in the Indianapolis area. Under the musical direction of Mike Keller, we perform year-round and are available for many different types of appearances including:
- concerts
- weddings
- corporate events
- holiday parties
- church / religious services
- festivals & civic events
- workshops & presentations

Contact us (http://circlecityringers.org/book-us/) if you would like to add a touch of elegance to your special event, to host us in concert at your venue, to schedule a workshop with your handbell choir, or to request audition information. At present, the ensemble rehearses weekly on 5 octaves of Malmark handbells and 5 octaves of Malmark chimes at Otterbein United Methodist Church in Indianapolis which has graciously allowed us the use of their rehearsal space. To express our gratitude, we participate in the worship service at Otterbein UMC several times a year.

*The handbell community uses the terms Tin, Copper, and Bronze to denote different levels of music and achievement and are also reflective of the materials used in handbell casting.
