About Us
Magic of Bronze was founded in June of 1996 by a group of enthusiastic ringers and directors whose goals were:
Magic of Bronze realizes these goals through the performance of two concert series a year, providing educational opportunities for ringers at the Central Florida Ringers workshop, being a resource for local handbell choirs, and performing gigs throughout the community. Starting in Fall 2022, Magic of Bronze has expanded their offerings by inviting the Grace Notes Community Handbell Ensemble to become part of the Magic of Bronze organization, providing a place for late beginning and intermediate ringers to grow.
- to attract and challenge intermediate to advanced handbell ringers through the rehearsal and performance of quality music

- to expand the public appreciation of and interest in handbell music through engaging concerts for the audience
