Capital Carillon Handbell Choir Spring Concert

Come join Capital Carillon for our Spring 2025 concert series on April 27 at 7:00 PM for their Spring Concert at the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors’ Center.

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, an alloy of 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin. The bells 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.
