Maggie Paton discovered her passion for handbells in high school when she enrolled in “Introduction to Handbells” as a fun and unique Fine Arts class. Over twenty years later, her love for ringing has only deepened. Maggie has played with the Wisconsin Lutheran College Tower Ringers, Madison Area Concert Handbells (Madison, WI), and, since 2014, the Opus Handbell Ensemble in Modesto, CA. She also directs the Laudate Ringers of St. Joseph Catholic Church / Mission San Jose in Fremont. Besides being an avid choir ringer, Maggie likes playing small ensemble and solo pieces. When she’s not making music, Maggie works as a software developer in healthcare revenue management.
