December 9, 2024This duo was fantastic to work with, and such a treat to see them perform for some songs as a surprise to my husband. They helped me coordinate everything from the beginning and were phenomenal to work with the entire time. I’m so happy I found them and hope to work with them in the future again!

February 20, 2024When I explained that I wanted my mother's funeral to have a joyful ending, they got it. I chose a song that was unusual and they leaned into learning it. We were hit with the rain storms, so Instead of a graveside service we had to pivot to have them play in the church. The Catholic Mass had it's specific needs for timing and were specific about where and when they could set up so as not to interfere with the sacrament. It wasn't ideal for the musicians but Bell Musique made everything smooth, thoughtful and absolutely lovely. As they began to play, the church filled with "bell music" and my mother's husband smiled and said "she would have loved this." That was all I needed. Everyone was enchanted and it exactly matched mom's personality. They brought joy to a sad and rainy day. Their presence at my mom's funeral was like having angels in attendance. Thank you thank you thank you!

December 26, 2023This event was one of the absolutely most successful events we’ve had at our assisted living community. If you have the chance to hire them, you will not be disappointed.

Audience members can expect to hear the clear and bright sounds of English Handbells being rung in harmony from our duo, Belle Musique. These sounds evoke feelings of cheer and gladness throughout the holiday season. Handbells complete a wedding celebration with sounds of hopefulness for the couple's happy future together. They also bring comfort to those grieving their loss. Visually, audience members are enthralled by the beauty and elegance of the shiny brass bells and the tones that come from them.
Belle Musique is a duo of skilled and talented women who have degrees in Music and teach music, specifically vocal performance and piano. We have blended the very unique genre of handbell music with singing and have brought this new, yet very traditional style of music to the forefront. Historically, bells rung for Weddings, Funerals, and Christmas celebrations date back through the centuries. It is exciting to see, hear, and experience this modern version of music from the past. We have a wide song selection from classical, traditional, religious, folk, and even Disney.
Depending on the location of the event (gig), amplification may be necessary. This can be determined upon request for a quote in the detail notes.

Belle Musique has been inspired by the many large handbell choirs often seen in churches throughout the world. And because of this inspiration, we have found a way to bring this beautiful genre of music to the masses in a smaller and more intimate ensemble.
