"Ringlets" Children's Concert

Ringlets is an Embellish outreach program
designed to provide children with an
educational music experience and a basic
introduction to the art of handbell ringing.
Through the combination of hands-on
exercises, creative activities and a fun
setting, Embellish hopes that Ringlets will
help instill a love and appreciation of music
and an interest in handbell ringing for
young people, and the potential future
handbell ringers of the community.
