Forté presents “Pathways” and “Flourish” – Fall Workshops & Concerts
This fall, Forté Handbell Quartet is setting out on three inspiring weekends of music-making across Colorado—teaching, performing, and connecting with communities. Our “Pathways” workshops invite ringers to grow in skill and artistry, while our “Flourish” concerts celebrate the beauty and power of handbells in performance. From classroom to concert, these weekends are designed to nurture both the joy of learning and the wonder of ringing.
Forté presents “Pathways: a handbell workshop”
Join us for an exciting day of musicianship, skill building, performance practice, and connecting with other handbell ringers.
Path A: Building the Basics
Path B: Strengthening Your Skills
Path C: Ringing for the Joy of It
If you work with students or know other musicians who might be interested in participating in either of these events, we ask you to please share this event with them.
Forté presents “Flourish: a handbell concert”
Join the Forté Handbell Quartet for an afternoon of enchanting music! Known for their skillful and energetic performances and diverse repertoire, Forté will captivate audiences with the range of musical styles presented in this concert.
