Regional Handbell Ensemble
Maestro's Regional Handbell EnsembleAudition applications now being accepted...please e-mail us for full details. The Maestro handbell program began in the mid 1990's under the direction of Maestro's founder Mark Bloedow. The devotion and commitment of Maestro participants and friends made it possible for Maestro to purchase four octaves of Malmark Handbells and three octaves of Malmark Choirchimes, as well as, the necessary equipment for a quality handbell program. Over the years, the group has enjoyed playing for Maestro concerts, programs at area retirement homes, for community groups and organizations, and the Fox Cities local handbell festival.
The ensemble enjoys a positive, supportive atmosphere, aimed at nurturing the individual and collective talents of the group to provide inspirational performances for our audiences. This philosophy has been central to Maestro's mission over the years and has produced many wonderful experiences for the group and enjoyable concerts for our audiences. The motto from our early years says it best..."We're doing the best we can!"
