As I write this, it is New Year’s Eve on the West Coast, USA. I hope it has been an adventure for you, as well. Coppers Classic is celebrating 11 wonderful years in April 2026, and we can hardly wait for you to be here!
Our repertoire is diverse composed/arranged by handbell’s best. Including the World Premier by the winner of the Area 10 Belltree Composition Contest, “The Way Back Home” by Mark Longfield. Multiple opportunities to ring belltree will be available. There is also an unpublished arrangement by Billy Brandt, and compositions by talented composers from Canada and Hong Kong and rich handbell repertoire you will love to ring.
