The ensemble

Six musicians.
One shared sound.

For more than two decades, we have been seeking those moments when music brings us closer together.

Since 2004

Bells bring us together.

Classical music, film scores and popular favourites, played on extraordinary instruments.

As a small ensemble, we also perform works originally written for larger handbell choirs. In our own arrangements, each musician takes on a variety of roles. Precise instrument changes, close attention to one another and a sound shaped together make the performance complete.

Across nearly two thousand concerts, our bells have rung in churches, castles, the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall at Müpa Budapest and the Hungarian Parliament. We are regular guests in the Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra's “Igazából karácsony!” Christmas concert show.

Open to the world

Our musicians have taken part in performances and professional programmes in several European countries, as well as the United States, Colombia, Singapore and Japan. We bring home new music, friendships and ideas from these encounters.

We enjoy playing for audiences in major concert halls and small towns alike. If you have never heard handbells before, you are very welcome too.
