Friends of Music & the Arts Presents the Blue Ridge Ringers
You’re invited to a special Mother’s Day concert featuring local handbell ensemble, the Blue Ridge Ringers, at 4:00pm on Sunday, May 10, in the Parish Hall of St. John in the Wilderness (1905 Greenville Highway, Flat Rock). The concert will feature a program of all popular hits. Pieces will include jazz standards, pop and rock hits, and patriotic songs.
“It's quite a different experience to hear a bell choir present songs such as ‘Fly Me to the Moon,’ ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘We Are the Champions,’” said Ed Tompkins, Organist and Director of Music. “I hope lots of area residents come and enjoy a Mother's Day concert of easy listening.”
The Blue Ridge Ringers is an auditioned community handbell ensemble founded by Connie Engle in September 1995 in Hendersonville. They are a diverse group from across the region. Many also direct or ring with their church handbell groups or other ensembles.
The concert is free, but donations will be gladly accepted to support the Friends of Music & the Arts program.
What a lovely idea for Mother’s Day! The Blue Ridge Ringers playing pop and rock hits on handbells sounds surprisingly delightful—I’d love to hear their take on ‘Hey Jude.’ Community events like this are such a treasure. On a totally different note, when we’re not out enjoying local music, my family enjoys quick browser breaks with free horror games—no downloads needed. We’ve been hooked on HorrorGamesHub for short, spooky fun. Hope the concert draws a big crowd!
What a charming Mother’s Day idea—the Blue Ridge Ringers turning jazz standards, pop/rock hits, and patriotic songs into handbell arrangements sounds surprisingly fresh. A community ensemble founded back in 1995 clearly has deep local roots, and a free concert with donations for Friends of Music & the Arts is easy to support. Since programs like this often make me think about patterns and numbers, I also enjoyed checking most common number in RNGdle for exact EP, badges, rarity tier, and percentile from the official badge table—no estimates. Worth a look if you like stats.
This sounds like a lovely Mother’s Day event—hearing ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ and ‘Hey Jude’ on handbells is such a fun twist. I appreciate that it’s free with donations supporting local arts. For anyone who enjoys puzzle-like entertainment after the concert, I found a thorough breakdown of all endings in The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, including Burial, Decay, and secret routes, at andyandleyley.com/news. It’s oddly satisfying to compare complex narrative paths the way bell choirs weave separate parts into one performance.
