Consisting of 12 ringers (ten teenage and two college-aged) and ringing five octaves of handbells, the Calvin Ringers are part of the historic handbell program at Tower Hill, begun by Bob Ivey. The musicians will present exciting handbell repertoire for the full choir, featuring settings of some familiar melodies such as Go Down, Moses, and Holy Manna along with original handbell compositions of the sacred and secular variety.
For the past two years, Tower Hill Church has also welcomed a thriving solo-ringing program and you will hear some of their brilliant young musicians in performance. The Calvin Ringers will feature pieces by some of the preeminent composers of solo handbell repertoire along with two very different works set by director Fiona Smith Sutherland, a movement from a Clementi Sonatina played on a Bell Tree, and the Theme from Schindler’s List.
