Kansas City Here I Come! Area 8 Handbell Festival

This silent auction will run concurrently to the Handbell Musicians of America Area 8 Festival "Kansas City Here I Come!", June 23 to 25, 2022 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Funds raised will build a scholarship fund for future Area 8 Festival Events! Thank you for your generous and enthusiastic bidding!

We are a five-state region of an international organization of handbell ringers, directors, composers, clinicians, and innovators. Area 8 contains Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, and is home to some of the world’s great handbell musicians, ensembles, conductors, teachers, and composers.

Funds raised from the online silent auction during our 2024 Festival "Connect Create Celebrate" makes the following possible:

Opportunities to connect and form life-long friendships with other handbell musicians.
Providing you with unparalleled access to opportunities for learning from the most innovative, talented and knowledgeable people in the art.
Continuation of an organization that is THE principal voice of the handbell/handchime art form and is dedicated to advancing the art through education, community and communication.
