The Hershey Handbell Ensemble will present a holiday concert on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 3 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church, 517 N. Queen St., Lancaster.

The ensemble was formed in 2004 and is based in southcentral Pennsylvania. It was created to be an auditioned community ensemble made up of people able to play advanced literature and interested in advancing the art of handbell ringing through education and performance while uniting people through the musical arts. The 15-member group under the direction of Shawn Gingrich performs on seven and a half octaves of Malmark Handbells, four octaves of Petit and Fritsen Handbells, silver melody bells, handchimes, and other assorted instruments. In 2015, the ensemble performed at the White House.

A freewill offering will be accepted. The ensemble will have a selection of its CD recordings available for purchase at the concert.
