Come and listen to some of our holiday favorites!

December 2024 is the tenth anniversary of our CD entitled "A Little Bit of Christmas."

To mark the occasion, we will feature these holiday favorites once again on our winter concert program: Ukrainian Bell Carol Fantasy, Change Ring Prelude on 'Divinum Mysterium,' Masters in This Hall, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Greensleeves, Come All Ye Shepherds, Carol of the Wise Men, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, The First Noel, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Jingle Bell Boogie, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and for an encore, Wassail Song.

Wilmington Handbell Ensemble was founded by Michael Helman in 2000 and is the only community based handbell ensemble in Wilmington. Kerry Dietz is our artistic director. Membership is by audition or invitation and the group draws from various church bell choirs in New Castle County. The purpose of the Wilmington Handbell Ensemble is to educate and introduce audiences to the beautiful and varied repertoire for handbells as well as promote excellence in musicianship among its members.

In addition to their own concerts, the Ensemble has played at Longwood Gardens, First Night Wilmington, Christmas in Old New Castle, Christmas Open Houses in Salem and Woodstown, New Jersey, Brandywine River Museum, and Delaware Art Museum. They have also been featured with the Newark Symphony and the Rainbow Chorale of Delaware and the Wilmington Madrigal Singers in their holiday concerts.
