summer ring!
Are you feeling the summertime blues at the prospect of several long, hot weeks with no handbells in sight?
BBR has the cure, with a casual summer ring open to all area musicians!
Please join members and directors of Back Bay Ringers and Back Bay Carillon at Boston's Old South Church, Monday, August 16th at 6:30.
We'll ring through some new repertoire and some old favorites. Help keep your ringing skills polished and make some new friends at the same time! We're asking for a $5 donation from each participant to help defray the cost of shipping music. Refreshments will be served.
2010-11 auditions
Auditions for Back Bay Ringers (our touring ensemble) will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, September 13 at Old South Church in Boston. Prospective members must have previous handbell experience.
Auditions will evaluate ringers' understanding of music theory, rhythms, and bell handling skills. Prospective members will be asked to sight read selections in a variety of ringing positions (treble, battery, and bass). Auditions will also include a brief interview with BBR's artistic director. Additional audition information and rubrics will be posted here closer to the audition date.
