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!

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.
