表演團體 - BellSingers

BellSingers於2014年正式成立,為香港註冊非牟利藝術團體。樂團由一群手鈴愛好者成立,目的是將手鈴音樂帶進社區,讓大眾認識及享受手鈴音樂。樂團宗旨是演奏出歌聲般悠揚的手鈴音樂,而樂團亦會在合適的樂曲中加入歌唱元素,因此命名為"BellSingers"。

現時手鈴隊隊員共15人,大部分為香港教育大學畢業生及音樂教育工作者。成團至今,樂團不斷參與不同類型的音樂會,並獲不同機構邀請出席大型活動作表演嘉賓,如:香港教育大學手鈴隊週年音樂會“Do You Hear the People Ring”、香港教育大學"ARTiViva Gala"音樂會、聖誕頌歌節、第22屆及第23屆元朗藝術節、兒童之家聖誕音樂會、世界自然基金會「地球一小時」、社區手鈴馬拉松、港鐵藝術舞臺、翱樂管樂團週年音樂會"啟航"、文物時尚.荷李活道等。此外,樂團亦曾獲邀於新城數碼生活台接受訪問及進行婚禮表演,以上演出均獲得各單位不少好評。

BellSingers was founded and registered as a non-profit organization in Hong Kong in 2014. This handbell ensemble was formed by a group of passionate handbell performers with the vision of promoting handbell music to society and ringing handbells to mimic the sound of a person singing, which inspired the name BellSingers.

There are currently 15 amateur handbell musicians in BellSingers. Most of them graduated from The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and are now professional music educators. Over the last several years, BellSingers have staged various performances and were invited as guest performers to numerous events hosted by a variety of organizations, including the EdUHK Handbell Ensemble Annual Concert, “Do You Hear the People Ring,” the EdUHK “ARTiViva Gala” concert, the Child Development Matching Fund Carol Singing Festival, Yuen Long Arts Festival concerts, the The Boys' & Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong Small Group Home Christmas Concert, the World Wide Fund 10th Earth Hour and Community Handbell Music Marathon, Art in MTR – Living Art Stage, O Wind Ensemble Annual Concert "Overture", Heritage Vogue.Hollywood Road, and so forth. The group was also invited to a radio interview by Metro Live Digital and performed in a wedding ceremony. All performances were highly acclaimed.
