Handbell Choir

The Wesley Memorial Handbell Choir is named in honor of Charles Wesley and was founded in 1980 following the generous gift of 6 octaves of Schulmerich bells by Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Summers Clark in commemoration of their 50th class reunion. The choir primarily plays advanced literature (levels 4-6) of widely varying styles and consists of 12-15 highly gifted and energetic members.

The handbell choir loves to perform on-campus concerts, as well as off-campus concerts. The group hosts a semi-annual handbell festival on campus. Concert venues each year include retirement villages, local churches, and chapel services.

This handbell choir is open to all students by audition. Come and be a part of all the fun!
