BRHMS Performing Teams
A team especially for beginners - maybe you’ve never played handbells before, or perhaps you just want to re-start your handbell journey at the beginning. Maybe you’ve never played any instrument before!
This is your entry into the world of handbell performance.
Open to anyone teens and older, regardless of experience.
A small ensemble dedicated to mobility, taking our music out into the community. Busking in public areas, playing at seniors’ homes, providing holiday music for weary shoppers, Elbow River Bells is out and about in the Calgary area.
The music is played without tables, intermediate in difficulty (up to Level 3) and can be played with just 12 bells.
*By audition or invitation
An adult performing team at an intermediate to advanced skill level, Bell Époque plays a wide range of music from classical to pop in a concert setting, from Level 3 to Level 5 difficulty.
Fun and vibrant, it’s the largest team in the BRHMS family and is open to players with a bit of handbell experience as well as seasoned bell veterans.
An advanced ensemble whose members play multiple positions, sometimes from memory, incorporating challenging repertoire and pushing the boundaries of what you thought was possible with handbells.
