Westminster Concert Bell Choir to perform at Methodist church April 19 The Westminster Concert Bell Choir, conducted by Kathleen Ebling-Thorne, will present a concert at the First United Methodist Church in Amityville, Sat., April 19, 7 p.m. The program will focus on original works composed for handbells and arrangements of classics and hymn tunes. The 14-memeber Westminster Concert Bell Choir is composed of undergraduate and graduate students from the Westminster Choir College of Rider University, a division of Westminster College of the Arts, located in Princeton, New Jersey. Its director is Kathleen Ebling-Thorne. Hailed throughout the nation for its virtuosity, the Westminster Concert Bell Choir uses the largest range of handbells in the world eight - octaves from C1 to C9. Many of the bells are made of bronze and range in weight from four ounces to 11 pounds. The Choir also uses the large Basso Profundo aluminum-cast bells that are a new phenomenon in handbell ringing. The Choir supplements their handbell set with a sixoctave set of Malmark Choirchome® instruments from C2 to C8 - the widest range in existence.
The First United Methodist Church is located at 25 Broadway (Route 110 near 27A) in Amityville. There is no admission charge for this concert; however, a free will offering will be taken. For more information, call the church office at 631-264-0152.
