Members of Bells of the Sound are in North Carolina this weekend for Virtuoso, a premier handbell event sponsored by The Raleigh Ringers!

Our spring concerts are over, which means it's almost time for Summer Ringing Sessions! We'll have five sessions from June through August, in three different locations.

https://www.bellsofthesound.org/summer-ringing-sessions.html

Open to ringers of all ages and skill levels, Summer Ringing Sessions are a great opportunity to ring different positions, work on new techniques, sharpen sight reading skills, and meet other members of our local handbell community.

This year we are pleased to be coordinating again with Emerald City Ringers and Rainier Ringers to offer ringing sessions throughout the summer season. No registration required and all equipment is provided, but bringing gloves is recommended. Whether you come to one, to all, or any number in between, grab a friend and come ring with us this summer!

ALL sessions 7 - 8:30 pm PT
