Ringing Out Workshop
2027-03-13 08:00 - 16:30 | Michigan
The Embellish Handbell Family is excited to announce we will be hosting Ringing Out on Saturday, March 13, 2027!

Ringing Out is a community handbell Mass Ring, and this year it will be under the direction of Embellish’s Music Director, Brenda E. Austin.

Brenda is a handbell composer, arranger, and conductor, and also a music editor for Hope Publishing. She is in high demand as a clinician, both nationally and internationally, and has over 115 publications of her own. She brings a vibrant energy to the podium, and a passion for “Changing the world with handbells!” – her signature phrase.

The day will be full of fun, great music, and the opportunity to connect with others in the handbell community. We will close the event with a concert, featuring several pieces rung by the mass choir, as well as an individually-prepared piece from each group (if desired), and a short performance by Embellish.

Since space is limited, registration is on a first come, first served basis. Please find the event details below:
