Lauded by critics as "a rare combination
of technical perfection, musical maturity and expression
from the heart" and "exceptional by any standard," the
Raleigh Ringers bring a delightful reverence to the
holiday season. Under the direction of David M. Harris,
The Raleigh Ringers have earned widespread recognition
as a community handbell ensemble performing both sacred
and secular music. In Raleigh, North Carolina's beautiful
Meymandi Concert Hall, RALEIGH RINGERS: ONE WINTER EVENING
AT MEYMANDI opens with "Sarajevo/Christmas Eve 12/24,"
the energetic Savatage/Trans-Siberian Orchestra neo-classic.
Selections from "The Nutcracker Suite," along with more
contemporary holiday favorites, including "Blue Christmas"
and "Sleigh Ride," round out the hour and the program
concludes with a glorious rendition of "Stille Nacht" (Silent Night).
