The charming sound of 140 bells introduces a new side to the works of well-known composers and restores inner balance. After the concert, everyone can try their hand at setting the mood for Christmas by playing the handbells that have enticed listeners across the world for centuries. 

Handbells appeared in England around the turn of the 17th century. Initially they were used for simple melodies but as time passed, the number of sounds of the bells in the musicians’ palette grew and the programmes became ever more complex.
