Handbells Ring In Boston Music Festival
ResumeThe third annual Boston Handbell Festival is Tuesday night at the Old South Church. The English musical tradition first came to America by way of Boston a century ago, and now it's flourishing, with new music and new groups popping up all over the country.
A delegation from the Back Bay Ringers demonstrates how a dozen people, all holding just two bells, can play together to create a complex melody.
