From the Insert
The Allegro Handbell Choir was formed in 1971 and since
then has been a strong part of the music program at The Union
Church of Hinsdale (United Church of Christ). There are
currently thirteen members ages 15 to 18 who have been ringing
two to eight years. In addition to participating in the
music program at Union Church, the group has performed for a
variety of civic, charitable, educational, and professional
organizations, on Chicago television programs, as well as
guest appearances at other churches. The Allegro
Handbell Choir, since 1975, has toured Europe five times and
has toured throughout the United States and parts of Canada.
The handbell choir performs with five octaves (61 bells) of
Schulmerich handbells made in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, and
with a matching five octaves of Malmark handchimes made in
Plumsteadville, Pennsylvania. There concert programs
include sacred and secular music ranging from the 17th to the
20th century.
