Tapestry, a community handbell quartet, is sponsored by
Monumental United Methodist Church in Portsmouth, VA. Formed
in July 2001, the ensemble plays for churches, civic groups
and schools throughout Hampton Roads, entertains regularly
at nursing homes and charity events, and has performed at
the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers Area III
Directors’ Seminar. Like the fabric and thread of a woven
tapestry, the ensemble is a blend of traits and talents that
produces a fine texture of music to the glory of God.
In 2003, Tapestry was awarded the Ruth Morse Wilson Handbell
Award from the National Federation of Music Clubs, and in
2004, performed at the International Handbell Symposium in
Toronto, Canada. Members of the ensemble are Cindy Lewis
from Virginia Beach, Ann Morgan from Portsmouth, Charm
Peterman from Yorktown, and Marjorie Setnicky from Suffolk. |
