Embellishments holiday concert, Birmingham Museum of Art

Posted on November 19, 2007 | Comments Off

Need ideas on how to RING in the holidays? Start with a holiday concert that really does. Organized in October 2001, Embellishments is a civic handbell ensemble based in Birmingham. This group consists of 16 auditioned musicians, directed by Phyllis Kirk. Embellishments plays six+ octaves of Schulmerich Bells, seven octaves of Malmark Chimes, two octaves of Petit and Fritsen bells, and various other instruments. I have no idea what that means, but it sounds impressive. The museum is located at 2000 Eighth Ave. North downtown.

Cost: Free
