The Raleigh Ringers  

Welcome to the online home of The Raleigh Ringers, an internationally acclaimed community handbell choir based in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Raleigh Ringers work toward the following goals:

  • Bringing advanced sacred and secular handbell music to the widest possible audience.
  • Promoting the art of handbell ringing through sponsoring and participating in workshops, tours and other educational and performing opportunities.
  • Encouraging handbell composers and arrangers to create works for advanced handbell choirs through commissions and other means.
  • Helping less experienced handbell musicians develop their ringing, directing and organizational skills.

If this is your first time visiting our site, please stay a while, learn what makes The Raleigh Ringers unique among advanced handbell ensembles, and listen to a tune or two—you’ll never think of “Stairway to Heaven” the same way again. You can even buy The Raleigh Ringers’ recordings and video for yourself or the music lover in your life. If you’re interested in staying in touch with the group, sign up for the semi-annual newsletter. And don’t forget to check out the concert schedule—the group frequently tours the country and would love for you to experience the transcendent sound of The Raleigh Ringers.

Summer Tour
The Raleigh Ringers will be teaching at the Area II Festival in Scranton, Pennsylvania at the end of June, along with presenting the feature concert for the festival. Tickets are still available for that concert on June 27, along with the June 26 concert in Canton, Ohio. The June 25 concert in Wapakoneta is SOLD OUT!!! For complete information on all our upcoming concerts, see the Concerts page.

Building News
The building has come a long way since 2007! It now has a name (Raleigh Ringers Central - RRC), it has hosted an Open House and a Read & Ring, and it actually holds ALL our equipment and supplies! Some of the changes can be seen in photos on The Raleigh Ringers Facebook fan page. The one thing that hasn't changed is our "Opening New Doors" Capital Campaign. Please consider making a donation to enable us to keep this dream of a permanent home. To learn more about the Building and our Capital Campaign, see the Building page.
