January 31, 2024 – Sarasota
Ring Sarasota is inviting audiences to “tune in” for their 14th performance season, “Radio Waves.” Whether your radio dial is set to American Top 40, Delilah, or Classic FM, “Radio Waves” has something for you. Ring Sarasota’s talented ringers will recreate some of the most popular songs to hit the airwaves across all genres, including country, Latin, and 80’s pop, with a few surprises along the way. “Radio Waves” will premiere on February 25, 2024, at Community Presbyterian Church in Englewood.
Not your traditional handbell choir, Ring Sarasota is dedicated to enhancing handbell ringing as an art form. The Sarasota‐based group, under the direction of former Navy bandleader Rick Holdsworth, showcases over 200 individual handbells and handchimes that create a symphony of sound with special effects mimicking the piccolo, percussion, trombone, and even the Tibetan singing bowl.
“As our ensemble grows, we’re focused on providing a unique and enjoyable experience for audiences that showcases the many ways handbells can be used to make beautiful music,” says Principal Conductor Rick Holdsworth. “As we enter our 14th year, Ring Sarasota has once again curated a show filled with songs that will have attendees tapping their toes and humming along. We’re excited to share ‘Radio Waves’ with audiences across Florida.”
