Monday, May 11th at 7pm, Summit Bells, under the direction of Chuck Kobb, will perform hymn arrangements, original handbell music, and a transcription of Bach organ work and a Scott Joplin rag.
Please mark your calendars to attend.
Summit Bells, a community handbell ensemble from the Akron area, was founded by its director, Charles Kobb, 40 years ago. Its purpose is to explore and perform challenging literature, especially transcriptions, to further the relatively new art of handbell ringing and to foster an appreciation for the musical capabilities of the art. The ensemble is made up of ringers who are recruited and chosen based on experience and audition. The ensemble has performed at many area and civic events, worship services and concerts. The group has appeared on television twice, gone on four summer tours, and released a CD, As the Page Turns. In 1999, they gave the World Premier of Te Duem, a work written for the group by H. Dean Wagner. They ring six octaves of Schulmerich bells and six octaves of chimes.
Don’t miss this fantastic show on Monday, May 11th!
