- Conferences - Inland Northwest Handbell Workshop - March 2020
Come join ringers from around the Inland Northwest ringing for a weekend of fun, learning, and beautiful music under the direction of Shirley Lindberg. Ringers of all levels are welcome to this event: there is a Tins track for beginning and less experienced choirs/ringers and a Coppers track for those who are more advanced. The weekend begins with late afternoon set-up Friday, March 27th. The workshop will start at 6pm with classes, followed by a massed ringing rehearsal. The Saturday program will include separate morning and afternoon rehearsals for Tins and Coppers choirs as well as an additional rehearsal for the combined massed choirs, all with Shirley Lindberg. While each track is rehearsing, the other will be able to take classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The workshop will conclude on Saturday night with a concert for the community that begins at 7pm.
Classes will be taught by members of Bells of the Sound!
