St. Paul’s Handbell Choir, “The Bells of St. Paul’s” under the direction of Ann McMahon will be performing a variety of music from big band sounds to soulful songs and even a wee taste of Christmas. The 3- plus-octave hand bells have been part of the Perth and St. Paul’s music scene for nearly 26 years and recently have expanded to include a lower octave of bells and a complete set of hand chimes to create a sonorous and sublime sound!
Budding cellist, Hilary Hodgins, a student of Sarah Loten, will also be a featured soloist. She grew up in Perth, taking part in school music programs as well as playing in the Kingston Youth Symphony.
The “Lanark Offbeats”, under the direction of Margo Smith, are an energetic, auditioned 20- voice jazz group with a 4-piece combo. They have been performing throughout Lanark County and beyond for 3 years.
The concert is in the recently renovated, acoustically beautiful, and completely accessible St. Paul's sanctuary/ performance space. Freewill offering.
