In Our 24th Year!
Wilmington Handbell Ensemble was founded by Michael Helman in 2000 and is the only community based handbell ensemble in Wilmington. Membership is by audition or invitation and the group draws from various church bell choirs in New Castle County. The purpose of the Wilmington Handbell Ensemble is to educate and introduce audiences to the beautiful and varied repertoire for handbells as well as promote excellence in musicianship among its members. In addition to their own concerts, the Ensemble has played at Longwood Gardens, First Night Wilmington, Christmas in Old New Castle, Christmas Open Houses in Salem and Woodstown, New Jersey, Brandywine River Museum, and Delaware Art Museum. They have also been featured with the Newark Symphony and the Rainbow Chorale of Delaware and the Wilmington Madrigal Singers in their holiday concerts.
