Linda Cancellieri, director of Music at Trinity United Methodist Church, readies for Thursday night handbell practice. She says the music looks very similar to piano music and is arranged like a piano keyboard. The church has a three-octave set of bells with most ringers responsible for two notes. They are preparing for their annual Christmas concert on Dec. 11 at 10:45 a.m. This year’s theme is A Medieval and Renaissance Christmas.

Trinity handbells concert December 11.
A black gloved hand scoops upward with a shiny brass bell. The white gloves are saved for performance to keep fingerprints from damaging the surface of the bells.
