Handbell ringers from all over the state of Maine will gather together on Saturday, April 27 at Auburn Middle School for the 2024 Maine Spring Ring. The day will conclude with a concert that is free of charge and open to the public.
The concert will be offered at 4:00 pm on April 27 in the Auburn Middle School gymnasium, located at 38 Falcon Drive, Auburn. The audience will be treated to seven massed-rung pieces, along with solo performances by several individual ensembles. A free-will offering will be collected and proceeds will be split 50-50 for two purposes: 1) to cover costs associated with the event, and 2) to support the One Lewiston Resilience Fund, established to help the families and community recover from the October 25, 2023 Mass Shooting Tragedy.
Maine Spring Ring is sponsored by Handbell Musicians of America, Inc. (HMA) for the benefit of its members and member ringers. HMA is dedicated to uniting people through the musical art of handbell and handchime ringing. For more information about HMA, visit www.handbellmusicians.org
