Nothing like this has ever been done!

Bells of the Cascades is about to embark upon its 35th Anniversary in 2024-25. Here's an exciting new project that you can be involved in to help us celebrate! BOC is creating a COMMISSION CONSORTIUM for a new composition from our director, Matthew Compton!

What is a Commission Consortium?  This is a way for any individual or organization to buy into a larger project for a much smaller cost than a traditional commission. Bells of the Cascades will work with Matthew to create a brand new original Level 3 handbell composition. This piece will be accessible to many different types of ensembles who will enjoy being a part of this exciting community project. All funds from the consortium will go to BOC for our ambitious $10,000 fundraising goal for our 35th Anniversary in the 2024-2025 season, and we know that with your participation, we can reach this goal!

Bells of the Cascades will premiere the composition during our Anniversary weekend of May 31-June 1, 2025.

Download information about the additional tiers and benefits HERE, as well as instructions on how to participate. We hope you will join us in this exciting project—a first for the handbell world!
