About Us
Magic of Bronze was founded in June of 1996 by a group of enthusiastic ringers and directors whose goals were:
- to attract and challenge intermediate to advanced handbell ringers through the rehearsal and performance of quality music
- to be a resource for the Central Florida handbell community and promote handbell ringing within the community
- to expand the public appreciation of and interest in handbell music through engaging concerts for the audience
- to provide education to the greater community of the art of handbell ringing
- to have fun!
