Area 12 Board Meeting – February 2024

Concert Handbells Alex Guebert, director

Spirit Handbells Erik Der, director

Save the date for a world-class handbell concert from one of the nation's top handbell programs. Concordia's Home Handbell Concert is a showcase of sacred, classical, popular, and new music - using over 127 handbells, hand chimes and other instruments. 

Concert Handbells and Spirit Bells are the touring ensembles of Concordia, representing a program that has become highly respected internationally for its performances and for its preparation of handbell musicians and directors. They have performed in 12 nations of Asia, Europe, and Australia as well as 38 states and provinces of North America. Together, they perform some of the highest difficulty of handbell repertoire at a virtuosic level, including original compositions written by faculty and student composers.  They are also featured annually across the nation during Concordia’s made-for-TV PBS Special.
