The 47th Annual English Handbell Festival

The Riverside Ringers host a weekend gathering of bell choirs from throughout the region, combining forces to perform a glorious concert under the leadership of guest conductor Kathleen Ebling Shaw. As always, the performance will be a sight to behold and will fill the nave with splendor!

Come early for a carillon prelude beginning at 3:00 PM. Then, at 3:15PM, enjoy an organ prelude played by Peter Krasinski, including music of Bach, Images of the Earth from Space, and the very first Science Fiction Film, Trip to the Moon, presented with live, improvised organ accompaniment.
