A handbell ensemble is a musical group that plays handbells, which are tuned bells that produce specific pitches when struck. Each musician typically plays one or more bells, creating harmonies and melodies together. Handbell ensembles can vary in size, from small groups to larger ensembles, and often perform a wide range of musical styles, including classical, contemporary, and holiday music. These ensembles are commonly found in schools, churches, and community organizations. They often participate in concerts and festivals, showcasing their unique sound. Handbell ringing requires teamwork and coordination, as musicians must follow a conductor and synchronize their playing for a cohesive performance.
