Capital Carillon

Founded in 1996, Capital Carillon serves metropolitan Washington as an advanced English handbell ensemble. Our mission is to educate, enlighten, and entertain national capital area audiences through the art of ringing with musical excellence. The choir provides opportunities for advanced handbell ringing and performance in a community-based ensemble. The choir performs mostly on 82 English handbells (6 1/2+ octaves) manufactured by Malmark, Inc. The handbells are cast in bronze and range in weight from only a few ounces to more than 13 pounds. To add depth to our music, Capital Carillon also uses Malmark choirchimes. Our set consists of 82 chimes (spanning 7 octaves). In our performances, we will also be ringing on sets of Schulmerich Silver Melody Bells and Petit & Fritsen bells.

Experience the elegant ringing of the bells and chimes of Capital Carillion on December 12 at 6:30 PM in the auditorium.
