OUR MISSION STATEMENT: The primary mission of the Hudson Valley Handbell.

Quotes from previous year's participants: "Really enjoyed the festival!!! Our group all thought the conductor was fantastic and loved her directing!!!!! Thanks for a great festival!" "Both my choirs had a great day. Some of them made it to church today - not too many, but neither of them were playing today - my kid's choir was!! The choir that had never been before could not get over how great it was, and the old hands said it was the best one yet!! They were all full of praise for the conductor and the overall organization of the whole day. Thank you to the organizing committee for a good job well done."
