Senior Center will host Asbury College music

A concert of music with a distinct variety of styles will be presented March 19 by the Men’s Glee Club and Wesley Memorial Handbell Choir of Asbury College from Wilmore, Ky. The program will be held at the McMinnville-Warren County Senior Center at noon.

The Men’s Glee Club and Handbell Choir are presently on tour through Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. The club is the oldest active music group at the college, with over 75 years of fine musical tradition.

The ensemble is made up of male students who well represent the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Asbury, hailing from many different states and foreign countries, and pursuing varied disciplines and majors.

The Wesley Memorial Handbell Choir is an ensemble which rings six-octaves of Schulmerich handbells. The ensemble was funded in 1980, following the generous gift of bells and equipment by the Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Summers Clark. The bells were given in honor of Charles Wesley and in commemoration of their 50th college reunion.

Under the direction of Dr. Craig Hodges and Dr. Mark Schell, the groups bring a refreshing spirit to their music and a personal Christian witness to their audience.

The concert, which is free and open to the public, will bring enjoyment to all.
