WESTMINSTER CONCERT BELL CHOIR TO PERFORM IN CLEVELAND ON MAY 14

      The Westminster Concert Bell Choir, conducted by Kathleen
Ebling-Thorne, will present a concert at Church of the Saviour in
Cleveland Heights on Monday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m.  under the auspices of
Arts in the Cathedral.
      The program will focus on original works composed for handbells
and arrangements of classics and hymn tunes. The 14-member Westminster
Concert Bell Choir is composed of undergraduate and graduate students at
Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey.=20

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for youth under 18.  Group tickets are
$8 for groups of 10 or more. Please call the church office to reserve.
Tickets may be purchased at the door. Church of the Saviour is located
at 2537 Lee Road, one block north of Fairmount Blvd. in Cleveland

 Hailed for its virtuosity, the Westminster Concert Bell Choir uses the
largest range of handbells in the world - 8 octaves from C1 to C9. Many
of the bells are made of bronze and range in weight from four ounces to
11 pounds; the Choir also uses the large "Basso profundo" aluminum-cast
bells that are a new phenomenon in handbell ringing. The Choir
supplements their handbell set with a six-octave set of Malmark
Choirchime instruments from C2 to C8 - the widest range in existence.=20
      The Westminster Concert Bell Choir has appeared on Public
Television and several holiday broadcasts of the "Today" show.  Its
holiday performances have been heard annually on National Public Radio's
"Performance Today," and it is included on NPR's Christmas Around The
Country II recording.  The choir has performed at Carnegie Hall twice
during the Christmas season. =20
      In December 2002 the ensemble joined Julie Andrews, Christopher
Plummer, Charlotte Church and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for a
critically acclaimed 15-city tour entitled "A Royal Christmas."  The
Choir has made five recordings: Westminster Concert Bell Choir,
Christmas Bells, Westminster Rings!, Praise and Adoration and Christmas
at Westminster: The Westminster Concert Bell Choir.  =20
