Here is a comment from Ruth Falk who attended our concert on Sunday in Guelph.

 

The concert was magnifantabulistic!! (a combination of several superlatives) Where do I start?  All the music was beautiful.  Loved the organ with the bells.  Loved the amazing solo and quartet ringing.  Loved the versatility of each person to play any bells, any place and sometimes four at a time and with mallets here and there too!  Just wonderful, all of it, as I knew it would be.

Bells Ablaze and Bellissima Ringers will give a concert in Guelph on Sunday, Apr 29 at 3:30 pm.  It will be held at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Norfolk Street and admission is by free-will offering.

The program will include a Gilbert and Sullivan tune, Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag played by handbell quartet and the final piece will feature bells and organ.   And, of course, Susan will be playing a couple of solos.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

Bellissima Ringers will be performing a noon-hour recital on Friday March 23, 2007 at 12:00 noon.

This is part of the Lenten Recital Series at First-St. Andrew's United Church in London, ON  (Queen's Ave and Waterloo)

Admission is by free-will offering and lunch is available for $5.00 following the recital at 12:30.

The program will include some spirituals and our version of Maple Leaf Rag.  Don't miss it!

 

Susan will be appearing as guest soloist at a concert of the Canadian Orpheus Male Choir this weekend in Welland.  See the attached poster for more information.

Susan will be the guest clinician at a workshop for new and not-so-new ringers at Wesley-Knox United Church. 

Morning and afternoon sessions followed by a concert with Bells Ablaze, Bellissima Ringers and a solo performance by Susan.

Don't miss this chance to help get the new bell choir started at Wesley-Knox and hear a fun and exciting handbell concert!

Enthusiastic audiences raved about our concerts last weekend!  We entered Aeolian Hall playing a peal as we walked up onto the stage.  Then, we were into our first piece, featuring Adam Guthrie on the violin. 

It was a wonderful evening.  If you missed it, you have the chance to attend our concert in Ingersoll on Sunday April 23, at 3:30 p.m. at Trinity United Church.  Call me for tickets.  Bring your friends.....they'll love you for it!

 

 

This is a new venture for me.  I hope you'll be patient as I learn how to do this.  Check back regularly for new articles, pictures and concert information!

I have wanted to have a "full" bell choir ever since I bought my bells in 1997 but for several reasons had to wait a few years to make this dream a reality.  Finally in September of 2004, my dream came true! 

I invited some keen, accomplished ringers to join with me in my new venture.  We are now starting our 3rd season.

Attached is a poster about a great handbell concert in April.  Bellissima Ringers, Bells Ablaze will be performing and Susan will also ring a couple of solos.  Check the attached poster for details.  Call me for tickets!   You won't want to miss it!  We're doing a few pieces with other instruments too, including violin, piano, organ and percussion.
