Capital Ringers Inc. is a 501(c)(3) community English handbell ensemble that entertains and educates concert audiences with an extensive repertoire of rock ’n’ roll, patriotic, sacred and current top 40 tunes, performing on the largest set of handbells on the Delmarva Peninsula. Their combination of handbells, percussion instruments, movement, audience interaction, humor and visual technology creates a show that will appeal to people of all ages. Founded in 2004 by Artistic Director Linda Simms, Capital Ringers’ mission is to provide performances that demonstrate the artistic diversity of English handbells.
The advanced group is always looking for new ringers, non-ringing volunteers and professional help to produce the shows. For more information or to hear performance excerpts, go to capitalringers.org or contact Simms at 302-632-3106.
