Mount Anthony Union Middle School, Bennington, Vermont- For the first time in 37 years, the town of Bennington will echo with the beautiful hand bell music of the Vermont Hand bell Association's Spring Ring. Each spring, the event travels around the state to give access to all of the hand bell choirs and their audiences in Vermont. This year's concert will feature 19 hand bell choirs- with 150 ringers total- from all over the Northeast and Ontario, Canada. It will feature several individual pieces by choirs, ensembles, and individuals as well as three compositions by the entire group.

The 4 pm concert is free to the public, with donations being accepted to help support hand bell choirs and events in the state. For more information contact Sue Green (802) 375-3563.
