Please enjoy this musical Christmas card from us to you. DHE brings you the joyful sounds of bells and wishes you all the best this Christmas season. We miss ringing for you and connecting with you, our friends and fans. We look forward to 2021 with hope in our hearts.
As an additional festive treat, The Raleigh Ringers featured DHE on December 16th as part of their daily holiday countdown. See our energetic performance of "Farandole (March of the Three Kings)” (arr. Kevin McChesney)" from the Handbell Musicians of America National Seminar in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Watch our website and social media for updates, including an announcement about auditions. The concert at The Centre already has been rescheduled for December 12.
