The Bells of Christ Church Concert

Saturday, June 1

4:00-5:30 p.m., Sanctuary

Come and hear and experience the rich history, the power, and the beauty of bells! One of America’s premier youth handbell choirs, The Bells of Christ Church, hails from historic Christ Church Anglican (1733) in the Historic District of Savannah,Georgia. This exceptional auditioned bell choir will be performing their summer tourconcert at First Baptist Church (5 Oak Street, Asheville, NC) at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, June 1.

Ringing on 15 octaves of handbells and chimes, the group has performed in Washington D.C., Colonial Williamsburg, by invitation at the international music festival Spoleto in Charleston and throughout the eastern and southern United States. The auditioned 12- member bell choir, now in its 25th year, is made up of College and High School students who have produced three professional recordings to date.

Their 1.5-hour-long concert includes some of the finest bell repertoire in the genre and includes a history of bells and handbells and a hands-on traveling bell museum. We guarantee that the program will be joyous and entertaining for the entire family.
