World Premiere in June! With Pikes Peak Ringers

Bells of the Cascades is very excited to have Pikes Peak Ringers joining us in June for the World Premier of Matthew Compton's "When All Else Fails..." This is a full-scale work featuring handbells, voice, string quartet, piano, percussion, and woodwinds! Each movement is based on a poem, quote, text, or phrase exemplifying a value that gets us through hard times, like friendship, love, hope, peace, and many more.
