Queen City Bronze

Queen City Bronze, a community-based advanced handbell ensemble, has been part of the Cincinnati art scene since 2008, performing an eclectic mix of musical styles on 7 octaves of handbells and handchimes. QCB is privileged and grateful to have Hyde Park Community UMC as its home base, rehearsing there weekly since early 2020.

QCB is dedicated to advancing the art of handbell musicianship and educating the public about the unique beauty and artistry that is possible with the instrument. The ensemble's 15 musicians strive to create a cohesive sound, becoming a living keyboard. Through their 14-year history, QCB has performed with the Cincinnati Pops, Cincinnati Men's Chorus, and Cincinnati Camerata; given educational workshops throughout the tri-state; and presented feature concerts for Handbell Musicians of America and Music Teachers National Conference.

Public performances are offered throughout the Cincinnati area each December and May and the ensemble rehearses weekly on Sunday afternoons in the Little Theater at HPCUMC. Guests are welcome to observe rehearsals any week.
