The Capital Area Handbell Festival brings hundreds of ringers together for a day of massed handbell music led by internationally renowned composer and clinician Fred Gramann. Participants will rehearse a selection of festive and traditional pieces, with choirs also having the opportunity to perform a solo, before joining together for a free massed choir concert. Registration includes lunch and a lunchtime concert by The Raleigh Ringers.
