Performance

Michèle is raising bronze bells to the level of high art. Internationally renowned for her graceful and flowing style, she is an emerging artist in the growing genre of English handbell performance; an art that began as a popular pub activity some 400 years ago and from this humble beginning has developed into a concert performance instrument.

Join Michèle as she weaves a tapestry of story and music, combining both grace and strength in her own dance-like choreography that takes the listener on a journey from Renaissance England to the Golden Gate to the Far East, and all points in between. 

Let Michèle bring her graceful Golden Dance to you!

Contact Michèle to discuss concerts, weddings, banquets and/or the addition of solo bells to your church services.
