The Hershey Handbell Ensemble will present a concert on Saturday, April 27, at 7 p.m. at York First Church of the Brethren, 2710 Kingston Road, York.
The ensemble was formed in 2004 and is based in southcentral Pennsylvania. It was formed to fulfill the need for an auditioned community ensemble consisting of persons able to play advanced literature and interested in advancing the art of handbell ringing through education and performance while uniting people through the musical arts. The 15-member group, under the direction of Dr. Shawn Gingrich, performs on seven octaves of Malmark handbells, handchimes, and other assorted instruments.
Copies of the ensemble's CD recordings will be available for purchase at the concert.
The concert is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be received.
