Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, community, and celebration as the Columbia Handbell Ensemble (CHE) presents a special Sendoff Concert ahead of our performance at the Handbell Musicians of America’s Pinnacle Conference! Admission is free but donations to CHE are greatly appreciated!

CHE has been honored as one of only 10 handbell ensembles in the world selected to perform at this prestigious national event — and even more exciting — we’ve been chosen to open the entire conference!
See our feature on the Pinnacle website: https://pinnacle.handbellmusicians.org

Before we take the stage at Pinnacle, we’re bringing our full performance program home to Columbia, and we want to share it with you — our incredible community.

Program Highlights:
Our diverse and energetic program features a little something for everyone, from classical to jazz to Broadway. Highlights include:

Hoe Down from Aaron Copland’s Rodeo
Chuck Mangione’s Land of Make Believe
Astor Piazzolla’s Libertango
And our grand finale: You Can’t Stop the Beat from Hairspray

This powerful, crowd-pleasing lineup celebrates the full expressive range of handbells — from precision and passion to rhythm and fun.

Plus! Don’t miss our Silent Auction at the concert — a great way to support CHE’s travel to Pinnacle while bidding on unique items and experiences.
