The handbell program of the United Christian Academy in Newport, VT, is celebrating its 26th season of performance and outreach nationwide. Three handbell instructors teach in the school’s program, which begins in the third grade. The Bronze Ambassadors is their most advanced ensemble, with students aged 13 to 18. Throughout its 25-year history, the Ambassadors have toured extensively throughout the country and have performed on several television networks. The ensemble’s outreach focuses primarily on marginalized audiences such as prisoners, orphans, and the homeless. The Ambassadors were honored to perform a lunch concert at National Seminar 2009 in Tucson, AZ. They also performed six concerts with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra during their 2017 and 2019 Holiday Pops tours.

Great concert! I loved all the music, but as a bass bell, Celtic Praise holds a special space in my heart. The student conductors were fantastic!
