LANSING, Mich. — The Lansing Area Ministry of Bells (L.A.M.B.), under the direction of Jane C. Wright, will present its 35th Annual Spring Ring on Saturday, March 23, 2019, at 4:30 p.m. at South Church’s gymnasium (5250 Cornerstone Dr., Lansing, off Snow Rd., south of I-496). This facility is handicapper-accessible.
Jane C. Wright, who founded L.A.M.B. and the Capital City Ringers in 1984, is returning to the podium to conduct this year’s Spring Ring celebration. Although she moved to Kalamazoo in 2001 to become the Director of Worship and Fine Arts Ministries at Westwood United Methodist Church, she continued to direct the Capital City Ringers until 2015. Jane has conducted and been a clinician for many massed ringing and choral festivals, and has been involved in music and fine arts events for the United Methodist church. For many years prior to her move to Kalamazoo, she was the Director of Music and Fine Arts Ministries at Mt. Hope United Methodist Church in Lansing.
The theme of the concert is “Ringing Through the Year—A Celebration of Church Seasons” and handbell arrangements of music of the church year (Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Advent, and Christmas) will be featured. About 65 ringers from area handbell choirs will join together for massed ringing; solo numbers will also be played. The concert is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be taken.
