Southern Colorado Handbell Festival

150+ handbell ringers from across Colorado and surrounding region gather in February each year in Colorado Springs. Each year, a different clinician guides these ringers through a full day of rehearsals on music that each participating ringer or handbell choir has prepared in advance. In the evening, the clinician and ringers get a chance to showcase the product of their hard work in a final concert that is free and open to the public (a free-will offering will be collected to offset costs). In this concert, the ringers are joined by brass quintet (and sometimes additional instrumentalists).
