Great River Resonance

Great River Resonance (GRR) is the premier community handbell ensemble in the greater St. Cloud, MN area. Established in 2021 under the direction of Jordan Goodwater, GRR presents multiple concerts each year, collaborates with other groups in our communities, and joins church-based handbell choirs to offer special music during worship.  GRR's repertoire ranges from secular to sacred, both cutting-edge and classic. 

In addition to our regular concert offerings, GRR is proud to host sight-reading sessions for those interested in new handbell music as well as handbell techniques classes several times a year.

All donations to Great River Resonance help offset the cost of music and concert venue costs.  The 5 octaves of Schulmerich Handbells, 5+ octaves of Malmark Choirchimes, and all related equipment have been loaned or rented to GRR on a concert-by-concert basis.  Our goal is to be able to start purchasing our own set of bells and chimes in 2025.  Can you help us by sponsoring a bell, piece of music, or other equipment?
