As happens each year during the holidays, The Ernest Bloch Bell Ringers will present their annual Christmas concert that is sure to get everyone in the spirit, says Bell Director Jeanne Jackson.

A favorite perennial is Carol of the Bells, Jackson said, and a hauntingly beautiful arrangement of A Midnight Clear will be performed.

Local musicians will join the bell ringers with Dan Laux playing the hammered dulcimer on What Child is This? and Cyndy Solomon the recorder on Still, Still, Still.

Singing is always a part of the bell ringers concerts and this year features Remi Alexander singing Cohens Hallelujah and Sita Milchev singing Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. The audience will be invited to join the bells in singing Winter Wonderland led by Cinnamon Rippey and Linda Bostwick, Angels We Have Heard on High, and the traditional closing piece, Silent Night.

The Coastal Singers will also be a part of this concert. They will join the bells on Joy to the World and The Night Before Christmas. And they will perform four pieces to piano accompaniment.

A special someone in a red suit will arrive around 2 pm to greet concert goers, handing out candy canes to youngsters of all ages.

Tickets $15 in advance, plus $5 day of event, Youth 7-17 free with paying adult.
