Ring Sarasota, Sarasota’s Premier Handbell Ensemble, announces Season 11, Highways & Byways

February 12, 2021 – Sarasota

After a short season in 2020 because of COVID, Ring Sarasota is excited to be back with Season 11, Highways & Byways, premiering on February 21, 2021 at Pine Shores Presbyterian Church. Not your traditional handbell choir, Ring Sarasota’s 16 musicians utilize 14 pairs of Mallets, 95 Handbells, 70 Chimes, and one Keyboard during their performances. 

Playing off the “travel canceled because of COVID” we’ve been dealing with for 10 months, Highways & Byways will take you on a guided musical tour with cinematography through the highways and byways of our great country. 

Leaving from our base in Sarasota we will join a hoedown Deep in the Heart of Texas, dance the Tennessee Waltz, give our regards to old Broadway, jive to those California Good Vibrations, sit By the Lakeside in Minnesota, enjoy a Mint Julep with Georgia on My Mind, march to the Washington Post in DC, and bring it all back home to Beneath the Sparkling Skies of Sarasota.
