In March, a new group of volunteers, the Bells at Temple Square, will be organized under the umbrella of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to perform two concerts and accompany the choir, the Orchestra at Temple Square, and other organizations as invited throughout the year.
Tom Waldron, a longtime member of the choir, will be the conductor for the new hand bell group.
The Bells at Temple Square will consist of 15 to 25 volunteer bell ringers, who will practice once a week, Wednesday nights, in the Conference Center. Church members wishing to join this group should be between the ages of 20 and 50 and live within 100 miles of Temple Square. Auditions for positions in the group will be held the first two Saturdays in March. Applicants need not have experience with bell ringing, though musical aptitude and physical coordination are necessary. A letter of recommendation from each applicant's bishop is required.
Application materials can be downloaded from www.mormontabernaclechoir.org (click on "Auditions"). Call the choir office at 801-240-4150 to request an application by mail.
