About the event
Experience the magic of handbells amongst brilliant American art in a first time experience with the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Join us this concert season for our holiday concert, "Solstice Bells," a celebration of the holiday spirit with a diverse mix of music reflecting joy, reflection, and togetherness.
Highlights include "Fiesta Navidad," blending traditional holiday melodies with festive Latin rhythms for an exuberant atmosphere, and "’Twas in the Moon of Wintertime," inspired by indigenous traditions, offering a moment of reflection with its serene melodies. The iconic "Ring Out, Solstice Bells" by Ian Anderson, with winter solstice themes rather than typical Christmas imagery has become a holiday classic, despite its unconventional composition and unique elements. Join us for "Solstice Bells" as we celebrate the season's joy and foster unity through music.
