The Bells at Temple Square Summer Concert

In March 2005, a new sound was added to the musical tradition of Temple Square with the creation of the Bells at Temple Square, part of The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square organization. Like the members of The Tabernacle Choir, Orchestra at Temple Square, and Chorale at Temple Square, all the bell ringers are volunteer musicians. The bell choir holds weekly rehearsals for a variety of performances under conductor LeAnna Willmore and associate conductor Geoff Anderson. These performances include two yearly concerts that showcase the broad spectrum of the handbell repertoire. In addition, the Bells at Temple Square often take part in the weekly Music & the Spoken Word broadcasts of The Tabernacle Choir and play a major role in the Choir’s annual Christmas concerts. The Bells at Temple Square were a featured choir in July 2023 at the Handbell Musicians of America National Seminar in Irving, Texas. The Bells at Temple Square are comprised of seven octaves of handbells and hand chimes.
