Zenith HB - 'The Dreams We Never Lost'

Directed by Matthew Compton and Alex Guebert, this concert will feature a vast repertoire of exciting and moving compositions and arrangements that takes handbells to a whole new level.

A handbell ensemble like no other, this group features two full seven-octave sets of handbells, chimes, and various accoutrements. They converge just once a year for a span of five days, dedicating their time to crafting a unique concert experience. Hailing from different corners of the globe, the ringers diligently hone their skills independently before uniting to create an extraordinary musical performance, showcasing the unparalleled beauty of handbell music.

From exciting original compositions by directors Matthew Compton and Alex Guebert that showcase the virtuosic nature to more sublime compositions like Ola Gjielo’s “Ubi Caritas,” and transcriptions of Cecile Chaminade’s piano works, this is a concert you will not want to miss! Featuring 32 handbells musicians from around the world and other local guest artists, this unique ensemble is excited to share our hard work in this free concert open to the public!
