The Westminster College Handbell Choir will join the New Wilmington Presbyterian Church Handbell Choir to give a concert Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. at the New Wilmington Presbyterian Church.
"It should be a fun concert," said Anne Bruening, director of the choirs. "It's not your run of the mill bell concert."
The program begins with the choirs combining to present "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jerico," then the church choir will play "Prayer for Humanity." "Chopsticks" and "Can-Can" feature a duet by Megan Swank, a senior history major from Corry, and New Wilmington resident Matt Nelson.
The college handbell choir will play "Towers" and "Jazzy Jingle Bells," which features the quartet of Swank, Jeremy Lawler, a sophomore public relations major from Mount Pleasant, Sybil Feightner, a senior accounting major from Mantua, Ohio, and Tracy Hefner, a junior music education major from Baden.
The program continues with the church handbell choir playing "The River" and "Serenade for a Picket Fence. Swank's solo, "As a Deer," is followed by the combined choirs playing "Gloria." The program concludes with the combined choirs playing "Grazioso" and "African Alleluia," which features the Westminster Choir with Serah Stauffer, a senior fine arts major from Youngstown, Ohio, accompanying on the congas.
