The Estonian handbell ensemble Arsis will perform at First United Methodist Church, 64 W. Chocolate Ave., Hershey, on Wednesday, July 16, at 7 p.m.

Founded in 1993, the handbell group is known across Europe for its virtuosity, artistry, and distinctive sound. When the ensemble began, it consisted of the only 12 handbell musicians in Estonia and in the entire Baltic and Scandinavian region. Now, Arsis operates two handbell schools in Tallinn and Tartu and several concert ensembles and owns an extensive handbell collection.

The concert is open to the public, and a freewill offering will be received. For more information, contact the church at 717-533-9668 or music@firstumchershey.org.
