The Maker’s Dozen Handbell Choir attended the Capital Area Handbell Festival in Raleigh on November 4 – 5, 2011. This was the 22nd annual festival presented under the auspices of the Raleigh Ringers and a first at this festival for our handbell choir. Under the baton of guest conductor/composer Fred Gramann of the American Church in Paris, France, 504 ringers from 53 handbell choirs rehearsed together for two days with over 4000 handbells and tone chimes ringing together. At the culmination of the festival, the choirs presented a massed handbell choir concert to perform the six selections to the community, family and friends of the choirs.
