About International Symposia

An International Handbell Symposium is held every two years rotating between the eight different member countries of the International Handbell Committee (IHC): Australasia, Canada, Great Britain, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States of America.

The symposium is the practical expression of the IHC vision, World Peace through the Spirit of Music. The program provides delegates with exposure to the cultures of the different member countries through the massed ringing of diverse repertoire and the cultural and technical workshops. We rejoice in acknowledging that music is our universal language and that we will explore the music of so many different lands.
