About this product
The roots of handbells as musical instruments go back to the 17th century England where the first miniature copies of church bells were cast. First designed as practice instruments for the carillon players, they soon acquired the status of independent musical instruments called handbells. Arsis Handbell Ensemble, formed in 1993 from the singers of Arsis Chamber Choir, consists today of eight professional players and has one of the biggest handbell collections in the world. Arsis can boast of an impressive list of concert tours that have taken them to Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and the USA.

Handbell music tradition in Estonia began in 1993 with the foundation of Arsis Handbell Ensemble. The youth groups presented on this have grown out of Arsis Handbell School, all the players being selected alumni. The older staff of the Youth Ensemble has been performing since 2003, and has toured Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and the USA. The younger one, formed in 2006, has given a number of concerts in Estonia and Finland. The conductor of the ensembles is the artistic director and the founder of Arsis Handbell School maestro Aivar Meñe.
