BELLPRINTS 手鈴節樂團 X 社區樂團手鈴音樂會 2024
BELLPRINTS Festival Choir x Community Choir Handbell Concert 2024

表演團體 - Resonanace Ringers

 

Resonance 最初由5位年輕人在2013年成立,憑著對手鈴音樂的喜愛與堅持,手鈴隊規模逐漸擴大,現今已發展為一隊18人的手鈴隊。

手鈴將不同性格的我們聚在一起,因著對這種特別樂器的喜愛,我們手鈴演奏上擁有著共同夢想,因此我們將手鈴隊命名為「Resonance 」,取共鳴之意。我們期望在手鈴隊中會擦出不同的火花,也希望將我們演奏帶給觀眾,引起觀眾共鳴。

Resonance的隊員擁有豐富的手鈴演奏經驗,曾被邀請在「香港大學國際詩詞獎頒獎禮」擔任表演嘉賓;並曾參與港鐵舉辦的「港鐵•藝術」演出,與公眾分享手鈴音樂。2017年我們以一場別開生面的Handbell band show作為創團音樂會,其後亦以中秋、旅行作為主題舉辦年度音樂會。除了籌辦音樂會,Resonance近年積極參與公開比賽,近兩年在Bellprints 國際手鈴大賽中奪得冠軍佳績,演奏亦獲評判讚賞。我們期望在未來日子能夠在不同地方分享我們喜愛的手鈴音樂。

Resonance was originally founded by five young individuals in 2013. Driven by their love and passion for handbell music, the handbell team gradually expanded in size and has now developed into an ensemble of 18 members.

Handbells bring together individuals with different personalities. United by our shared love for this unique instrument, we have a common dream in our handbell performances. Therefore, we named our handbell team "Resonance," symbolizing the concept of resonance. We hope to create sparks within the handbell team and bring our music to the audience, evoking a sense of resonance among them.

The members of Resonance possess extensive experience in handbell performance. They have been invited to perform as guests at the "Hong Kong University International Poetry Awards Ceremony" and have participated in "MTR•Art" performances organized by the Mass Transit Railway, where they shared their handbell music with the public. In 2017, we held a unique Handbell band show as our inaugural concert, and since then, we have organized annual concerts with themes such as Mid-Autumn Festival and travel.

In addition to concert organizing, Resonance has actively participated in public competitions. In the past two years, we have achieved champion in the Bellprints International Handbell Competition, receiving great acclamation from the judges for our performances. We aspire to share our beloved handbell music in different places in the future.
