2011 Festival Info and Schedule
Posted on April 5, 2011 | Filed Under 2011
2011 Festival Info
Clinician: John Pfeiffer, President of the AGEHR and Director of the Music City Bronze
Dates: April 1-2, 2011
Fee: $150 per choir, or $25 for individual ringers
Location: Grace Lutheran Church, 9076 Middlebrook Pike, Knoxville, TN (map)
What to Expect
You will be joining with choirs from all over the Knoxville area and beyond to make music together! It’s great if you can bring your whole handbell choir, but if you can only get a few ringers together, that’s okay, too. (In massed ringing, someone is likely doubling or tripling your part already). “Orphan” ringers are always welcome, and we can give you a spot in a handbell choir in advance so that you can be prepared when you arrive. We strive to make our festivals a positive experience for both the advanced ringer and the beginner. Our clinician will lead rehearsals and direct us in a final concert with brass and percussion. It’s a wonderful way to get re-energized and focused on this wonderful musical art.
