UPCOMING CONCERT

The Cosmopolitan Music Society is thrilled to present this dedication concert in honour of Alison Wood and the newly gifted AEW-CMS Handbell Collection. The concert will take place on February 12 at 2:30pm here at OSPAC.

This concert will feature the new CMS Handbell ensembles led by conductors, Tammy-Jo Mortensen and Carol Bergum, and include a special performance of “Circles and Smiles” by local composer John Hooper. This piece was written specifically for Alison, and it is a pleasure to be able to perform it for her.

As a tribute to the people who are pillars of handbell education and performance in our community, Alison inscribed each of their names on the handle of a bell in the AEW-CMS Handbell Collection. In a touching finale, each inscriptee will be invited to join the CMS Handbell ensembles on “their” bell, for a rousing massed-bell performance. This is a spectacle you don’t want to miss!

Admission is free, but tickets are required for entrance. Visit Showpass to claim your ticket!
