Professionalism
Shoreline Ringers, Inc. has been amazing audiences with what handbells can do since 2006 when it was founded. The group is composed of 13-16 ringers whose professional backgrounds include computer, social work, teaching, ministry, chemistry, and more!
Shoreline Ringers first began rehearsals in January 2006, and became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in September 2006. Since then, Shoreline Ringers has wowed audiences with the magic of handbells through concerts and educational events, even performing at Carnegie Hall and with the US Coast Guard Band at their annual holiday concert.
Meet the members of Shoreline Ringers, Inc., who come to us from all over CT and many different backgrounds to create a fantastically unique ensemble.
