The Hershey Handbell Ensemble will perform at Mount Zion Lutheran Church, 2164 Mount Zion Road, York, on Friday, Dec. 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the church's sanctuary. The concert is part of the church's recital series.
Founded as an auditioned community ensemble, the group shares the art of handbell ringing through education and the concerts it performs throughout the year. Under the direction of Shawn Gingrich, the 15-member ensemble features a variety of music while playing advanced literature written for handbells, handchimes and assorted other instruments. The group performs using seven octaves of handbells.
The public is invited to attend. The program is free, though a freewill offering will be accepted to benefit the community music series at Mount Zion Lutheran Church. The next recital is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020, at 3 p.m., when the York County Gospel Choir will appear. For more information, readers may call the church office at 717-757-7626.
