Gershwin, Cole Porter, Glen Miller and Dave Brubeck are just some of the
names whose music is featured in this concert, from 'Blue Rondo a la Turk',
and 'In the Mood', to 'Misty', and 'Georgia On My Mind'. The 15-strong
Bells In Motion ensemble combines seven octaves of handbells and chimes,
string bass, drums and other musical instruments to perform music ranging
from jazz to classical, big band to blues, and sacred to original
compositions written especially for this thrilling group of performers and
their instrument. Formed in 1997, the members of the group hail from Central
Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa and, since their first performance, Bells In
Motion has continually brought audiences to their feet. Handbells performed
at this level make for a visually and aurally exciting experience. For more
information about the group see www.bellsinmotion.org. The wide-ranging
programme will also include performances by Celtic Carillon, Scotland's
national handbell ensemble, and a trio from Dunblane Cathedral Handbell
Ringers.
