Handbell Programme
Dunblane Cathedral has handbell groups catering for all ages from 8 to adult. The
beginning groups develop music reading skills. The groups for advanced ringers
perform widely.
They have been broadcast on television and radio on many occasions, and travelled the
length and breadth of the country to perform on numerous occasions in venues both large
and small. They have also performed in Europe, Canada and the USA.
They have made commercial recordings and have the distinction of having won the only
UK-wide competition open to the thousand groups in Britain in recent times.
A very versatile group they have a wide repertoire spanning classical, modern, sacred
and secular music, which has over the years allowed them to present concert programmes on
their own, perform with several orchestras, choirs, vocalists and instrumentalists, to
take their music to the streets and to contribute to the music of worship in the Cathedral
and for many other congregations. They have helped raise many thousands of pounds
for numerous charities.
Membership is open to anyone from within or outwith the congregation, whether primary
school age, high school age or adult.
Rehearsals of all groups take place once a week in school term time.
