Bay Bells Handbell Choir - Holiday 2003

The Bay Bells Handbell Choir
has brought the music of
English handbells to an
ever-widening audience. Performing on over 100
bells and chimes and
representing over 200
years of musical experience,
Bay Bells is one of the nation's longest-running community handbell ensembles.

PMAA was very excited and proud
to have Bay Bells join us for our Holiday 2003 performance, Sound the Bells.
