The Raleigh Ringers

About

The Raleigh Ringers is an advanced community handbell choir based in Raleigh, made up of ringers who play at a high level without doing it for a living. The group is known internationally, it has been nominated for an Emmy, and the range of its concert repertoire is the part audiences tend to remember.

David Harris has directed the group since 1990, and he was instrumental in forming it in the first place. Handbell Musicians of America awarded him Honorary Life Membership, the highest honor the organization gives.
