Three Rivers Ringers

10th Anniversary Celebration
2020-12-10 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | YouTube
Despite an incredibly challenging 2020, which saw the cancellation of the spring concert season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Three Rivers Ringers is pleased to celebrate its 10th Anniversary on Thursday, December 10, 2020!
Though the musicians of TRR cannot safely rehearse in our usual space due to the tight quarters, we have been busy curating a video celebration of the first 10 years of Three Rivers Ringers. You’ll hear a full concert of TRR’s greatest hits, including the Vierne Carillon, Beethoven’s Hymn to Joy, Cathy Moklebust’s powerful The First Noël, and much more! Plus, the Ringers will share a few of their memories from over the years.
Celebrate with us on Thursday, December 10, 2020 at 7:00 PM!

2021 Spring Concert: Spring Rewind
2021-06-18 20:00 - 21:00 | YouTube
Three Rivers Ringers is proud to present its 2021 Virtual Spring Concert – Spring Rewind on Friday, June 18 at 8:00 PM! After a successful and warm reaction to TRR’s 10th Anniversary Celebration in December, TRR will close out this trying year dominated by the pandemic with a joyful, uplifting celebration of the power of handbells to bring people together. You will hear some of the greatest hits of Three Rivers Ringers’ first 10 years of spring concerts, including Fred Gramann’s moving Prelude on Herzliebster Jesu, music from the movies including the dynamite themes from The Magnificent Seven and 2001: A Space Odyssey, rock hits including Stairway to Heaven, and much more!
PLUS, you will see the World Premiere of a brand new piece of handbell music by Jason Krug, commissioned by Three Rivers Ringers in honor of the 10th anniversary, and filmed in person just weeks ago! The musicians of Three Rivers Ringers gathered again for the first time in over a year, masked and distanced, to prepare and record this exhilarating piece of new music.
Next season promises to be a return to form for the ensemble, entering its second decade, with in-person, live concerts. But until then, join TRR next Friday for Spring Rewind, on the Three Rivers Ringers YouTube channel!
