In each piece of music we ring, we ring out memories of friends and families.
Chime In! keeps memories alive through ringing. Most of the handbells in our collection have been purchased in memory of loved ones. Each time we ring, we make music as a memorial to their lives. During a typical concert, we strike the handbells more than 10,000 times - each strike a memory.
Historic Handbells Project
We are in the process of acquiring a unique set of handbells from a historical church in our area. These bells, cast in the Netherlands, have more than 50 years of history and will bring a new dimension of sound to our music.
Your gift will help sponsor the costs of acquisition and restoration. We welcome and preserve memorials.
