SUMMARY:Bell Durham Concert - Songs of Hope
DESCRIPTION:The theme for our spring concert\, "Songs of Hope\," is inten
 ded to inspire resilience\, unity and healing through music. \n\nSelecti
 ons will include three new arrangements by Bell Durham Artistic Director
  Mitchell Eithun. The first\, "Total Praise\," is a handbell version of 
 the popular composition by Richard Smallwood\, the well-known gospel art
 ist who died in December. The second\, "What the World Needs Now Is Love
 \," captures the 1965 Burt Bacharach hit recorded by Jackie DeShannon. T
 he third\, "I Dream a World\," is based on the celebrated Langston Hughe
 s poem and the choral music of André J. Thomas.\n\nBell Durham will be j
 oined by two accomplished vocalists\, Imani McKoy and Tyra Scott\, on "I
  Dream a World." In addition\, McKoy will be featured in "Come Sunday\,"
  a Duke Ellington piece arranged for handbells and voice by Eithun. \n\n
 Another highlight of the repertoire is "The Bells\," a musical setting o
 f the Edgar Allen Poe poem for handbells and chorus by David York. The p
 iece evokes the changing stages of life – from joyous wedding bells to m
 ournful funeral tolls. The concert also will include handbell music from
  Hong Kong and Puerto Rico.\n\nThis family friendly event is free and wi
 ll last about an hour.\n\nBell Durham is Durham’s first community handbe
 ll ensemble. Using six octaves of handbells\, handchimes\, and various o
 ther instruments\, the ensemble plays advanced music from around the wor
