SUMMARY:Virginia Bronze Handbell Ensemble: Your Favorite Things
DESCRIPTION:This holiday season\, the bells will be ringing with your fav
 orite festive songs!  We asked our friends and followers to share the hol
 iday tunes that mean the most to them - and we listened.  The result is 
 a delightful handbell concert featuring repertoire chosen by our very own 
 community.\n\nVirginia Bronze (VAB) began in 2006 with a few experienced r
 ingers\, primarily from area faith communities\, who were seeking opportun
 ities to ring challenging and diverse music in a secular environment. VAB 
 has gained local and national recognition over the last 19 years as a prem
 ier community handbell ensemble. It has performed with the Washington Chor
 us\, the Cathedral Choral Society\, Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington\, DC\
 , the Children’s Chorus of Washington\, Strathmore Children’s Chorus\,
  and the Alexandria Symphony. It has been a part of First Night Alexandria
  and an artist-in-residence at the George Washington Masonic National Memo
 rial\, and has performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and
  the Music Center at Strathmore. Virginia Bronze is well-known in the nati
 onal handbell community and was invited to perform at the Handbell Musicia
 ns of America (HMA) - a national guild of handbell ringers - Pinnacle fest
 ival in Nashville\, TN\, in 2010\, and as a feature concert at the HMA Nat
 ional Seminar in 2019 in St. Louis\, MO.\nThe organization’s primary out
 reach activities are concert performances\, workshops\, and festivals\, an
 d it actively seeks opportunities to educate the public about handbells. M
 ost recently\, VAB has focused on community outreach in the Northern Virgi
 nia area by partnering with ArtsFairfax\, community centers\, and Title 1 
 schools in Fairfax County to expand access to handbells and handchimes.
