Bells of the Cascades is celebrating 30 years of ringing this year! As part of that celebration, we’ve been asked to be featured performers on Sunday, March 15, 2020, at Woodburn United Methodist Church, for their “Who’s On Third?” community concert series. Here are the details!
Update: We have sadly decided to POSTPONE our 30th Anniversary celebration until either August or September, 2020, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Please stay tuned for further updates, and please take care of yourselves and your loved ones!
“Tell me a story!” That’s what we’ll do for you, in music, as we celebrate 30 years of bringing handbell ringing to the Portland/Vancouver area on Sunday, May 17, 2020. Each of the pieces in this concert has a story behind it. We’ll share them all, along with the beautiful, exciting, haunting, uplifting, and FUN music to go along with them. Held at First United Methodist Church in Portland, this is definitely not a concert to miss!
Here are the details!
We’re going to Florida!
Bells of the Cascades is thrilled to have been selected to perform at Handbell Musicians of America’s National Seminar in Orlando, Florida in July, 2020. Our 2019 concert with the Melodica Men was so much fun that we’ve invited them to perform with us as we celebrate 30 years of ringing by performing at National Seminar. The concert will be July 18, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. (Eastern). As we get closer, we’ll post information regarding live streaming of the concert.
In the meantime, enjoy this clip from this past June!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel the Read and Ring event this year. Thanks to all who have expressed interest. Stay tuned for more opportunities to engage with Bells of the Cascades’ ringing events in the future!
On Saturday, August 17, Bells of the Cascades offers a wonderful opportunity for handbell directors and ringers to read through music for all seasons, decide what you like, and purchase it for your choir to use during the year. Bring your choir or come alone and meet new people!
