Bells on Temple Square

Bells on Temple Square

The Bells on Temple Square handbell choir is an official music organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was formed in 2005 under the direction of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. [ [http://www.mormontabernaclechoir.org/bells/ "The Bells on Temple Square"] . Accessed 5 November 2007.] The group is a double handbell choir, typically performing with 27 ringers on 2 sets of handbells (one 7-octave set and one 6-octave set) and handchimes (both 6 octaves).

The Bells on Temple Square frequently accompany the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in concerts and on the weekly Music and the Spoken Word radio and television broadcast, in addition to performing their own semi-annual concerts. The 2006 Christmas concert of the Bells on Temple Square, held in the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, attracted an audience of over 15,000 people, and is believed to be one of the largest crowds ever to attend a handbell performance. The group is led by conductor Thomas Waldron and assistant conductor Leanna Willmore.
