Questions?
Is your handbell choir ready for some new music, and a weekend to learn it together? Bring them to the mountain. Your choir will leave prepared with beautiful pieces to ring for the rest of the year.
Each weekend runs an intermediate track and an advanced track, each with its own visiting clinician. Ringers of every level are welcome, from beginners to old pros, and the repertoire lists are posted ahead of time so you know what’s coming.
Between sessions, Lutheridge program leaders lead devotions and worship. The whole weekend is meant to form you as a witness to God’s love through the music you make, alongside other ringers who love it as much as you do.
Stay in a double or single room, or come as a commuter.
