Ringing Link

Ringing Link was the recognized HGC national handbell event since 1998 when it was first held in Saskatoon, SK. The objective of this festival is to bring together Canadian handbell musicians to share expertise and skills in handbell ringing, composing and conducting and to be exposed to new and favourite handbell compositions. Participants at the Ringing Link can share in the enjoyment of making music that builds upon musical understanding and friendships, new and re-kindled.
