On the third Tuesday of May, Old South Church plays host to the Boston Handbell Festival, an annual celebration of handbell musicianship co-sponsored by Old South and the Back Bay Ringers.
The Boston Handbell Festival brings together local community handbell ensembles, as well as the Old South Ringers and an invited guest choir, for an evening of massed and solo ringing in Old South’s beautiful sanctuary. The concert is free and open to the public. Many audience members at the BHF are seeing handbells for the first time! They’ve been treated to an enormous variety of performances, including pieces that included choreography, singing, baseball hats, or pirate costumes, as well as a memorable massed piece involving five choirs and Old South’s stunning Skinner pipe organ.
Participating Choirs:
Back Bay Ringers
Merrimack Valley Ringers
New England Ringers
Old South Ringers
Shoreline Ringers
