The Hershey Handbell Ensemble will perform its annual spring concert on Sunday, April 24, at 3 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 64 W. Chocolate Ave., Hershey.

The ensemble was formed in 2004 and is based in southcentral Pennsylvania. It was created to be an auditioned community ensemble made up of persons 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, hand chimes, and other assorted instruments.
