The Forté Handbell Quartet and Church in the Wildwood are proud to present the 4th Annual Handbell Workshop & Concert on October 11th and 12th in the picturesque mountain town of Green Mountain Falls. Register here on September 1st!
This unique one-day workshop offers personalized instruction for ringers of all levels. Whether you’ve never picked up a handbell before – or you’ve wowed audiences with your talent for years – you’ll discover something new and energize your creative spirit during this daylong event.
We understand how hard it can be to find the time to pursue your passion – that’s why we packed so much instruction into this one fabulous day! We also know professional-level instruction can be inaccessible due to cost or location, so we’ve obtained a grant from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund to offer this unique opportunity right here in the Colorado Springs area. While music teachers often charge an expensive hourly rate, this workshop provides a full day of instruction with both technique building and fun hands-on practice. Best of all, you can choose the path that’s right for you!
This year, we’re offering three options: Building the Basics, Strengthening Your Skills, or Ringing for the Joy of It. To read more about these paths and to see the workshop schedule, visit our website here. The course also features two catered meals, snacks to keep you fueled up, a packet to take home, and the opportunity to meet and network with handbell ringers from throughout the region.
Don’t miss this opportunity to work with the Forté Handbell Quartet. Having these talented musicians all to yourselves is a rare opportunity. If you’re passionate about music or interested in trying something new, then taking a day for yourself to delve deeper into your craft is so worth it!
A registration fee of $80 helps defray costs not covered by the grant. We never want this fee to be a barrier to attendance – scholarships are available – just ask!
In addition to the workshop, the Forté Handbell Quartet is performing a public Concert on Sunday, Oct 12 at 3pm. No tickets are needed and all are welcome. Our goal is to bring the handbell community together, so even if you can’t attend the workshop, we hope to see you at the concert.
Registration opens September 1st. The number of participants is limited to ensure everyone receives individualized attention.
We hope to see you in Green Mountain Falls in October!
