The Agape Ringers in Concert

Join The Agape Ringers and Christ Lutheran Church of Clarendon Hills for an engaging program of music that encompasses a wide variety of musical styles, from classical to boogie, with arrangements of well-known pieces such as Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye;” “Flight of the Bumblebee,” arranged as “Bumble Boogie;” “For Good” from the Broadway hit Wicked; and many more compositions for handbells.

Directed by founding member KC Congdon since 2019, The Agape Ringers were formed in 1992 under the direction of David L. Weck. This exciting ensemble enjoys an on-going collaboration with pianist/composer Joel Raney, and has performed with jazz trumpeter Orbert Davis, the Rockford Symphony, the North Shore Choral Society, the Illinois Brass Band, the Elgin Choral Union, the Elmhurst Symphony, and the West Towns Chorus.

The group is noted for beautifully orchestrated presentations of entertaining and varied music. Listeners are entranced by the ensemble’s energy, precision, and musicality. Since its founding in 1992, The Agape Ringers has made over 330 appearances across North America, Puerto Rico, and England. The ringers have been featured as performers and teachers for events such as the Fellowship of American Baptist Musicians Conference for Church Musicians in Green Lake, WI, and local, regional, and national gatherings of the Handbell Musicians of America.
