Welcome!Spring is finally here and we continue to work on beautiful and exciting music in preparation for our summer concert and weekend tour down to St. Louis! We hope you will visit our "Events" page to find a concert near you!
We recently released a new CD entitled An MHE Christmas Celebration! It would make a great gift for any of your music-loving friends and family! Visit cdbaby to order yours today!
We also encourage you to take some time to browse our website and learn what makes the Milwaukee Handbell Ensemble a unique musical group that plays a unique musical instrument. Visit the "About" page to learn of our history, ringers and directors! Take a glimpse of MHE behind-the-scenes by visiting our "Galleries" page! You may hear the magnificent sounds that handbells create by listening to audio recordings, such as What is this Lovely Fragrance arranged by Fred Gramann or watch a video recording of MHE in action as we perform Tin-Tin-A-Rumba by Andrew Duncan.
Last but not least … HIRE US! Not only can you hire us to perform for a special event or party of yours, we also provide traveling workshops to achieve our mission of "… educating, inspiring and informing others on the art form." Contact us for more information!

"The Milwaukee Handbell Ensemble, led by director John Behnke for one number, performed several times, including an unconducted, memorized number from the lip of the stage. They played with spirit, precision, and the almost balletic grace the bells require."
