On Monday, November 26, 2012, the Potomac Chapter met at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Bethesda, MD for a meeting titled "Handbells Plus".
The handbells are set out facing the organ console and choir loft.
Members ringing
We were fortunate to have works composed by members Ken Lowenberg and Peter Crisafulli among many others, for all ages and ranges of experience.
Here John Brooks is conducting a piece for bells and organ. Clarice Jane Snyder is playing and Mary Ann Willow is turning pages
This is a portion of Ken Lowenberg's Chanson.
Following the program there was a reception in the vestibule.
Here is a note from Emily Koons to the Potomac Board:
Dear Fellow AGO Board Members,
Thank you so much for the excellent workshop on handbells at St. Luke's last night. Thank you, Clarice, for organizing, presenting, and hosting this event. I've attended many handbell workshops, but you came up with even more original ideas I'd never heard of before.
We should write a column about the workshop and include it in the next newsletter. Those who could not come should see what they missed, and be encouraged to attend future Chapter events. I'll be glad to help write it. Would someone like to write about Mary Ann's contribution?
It's such a pleasure to serve with a group of talented musicians and delightful people as you are.
All the best for the joyous Advent and Christmas season, and I look forward to seeing you at the Twelfth Night annual service and dinner in January, with planning already underway.
Best regards,
Emily Koons,
SubDean
