It’s a Christmas classic in New Westminster, and it’s back for its 20th year.
Carols and Bells returns to Queens Avenue United Church on Sunday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m.
Five handbell choirs, made up of ringers of all ages, will take to the stage in both individual choir and combined performances.
Featured on the program will be Burnaby’s Soundwave, directed by Janet Nordstrand; New Westminster’s Queens Avenue United Church Memorial Bell Ringers, directed by Virginia Barteluk; Coquitlam’s Sacred Bronze, directed by Mary Hampton, and two elementary school choirs: Topham Elementary’s group from Langley, directed by Elizabeth Eckert, and Surrey’s Berkshire Bells, directed by Edwin Brion.
Concertgoers will also have a chance to sing favourite Christmas carols and songs in between the performances.
Tickets are $20 regular, $15 seniors and students, and $10 for children. It’s wheelchair-accessible, and free parking is available at city hall, a half block down the hill.
