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, performed at the 2004 International Handbell
Symposium in Toronto, Canada and at the 2008 International Handbell
Symposium in Orlando, Florida. Members of the ensemble are Cindy Lewis from
Virginia Beach, Ann Morgan from Portsmouth, Charm Peterman from Yorktown,
and Marjorie Setnicky from Suffolk.
