Ring Out

Ring Out is a Twin Cities handbell ensemble seeking to advance LGBTQIA+ inclusion and representation in the handbell community. Our ensemble is one of the first in the nation to be organized by and for LGBTQIA+ people and allies. 

Our ensemble has 24 ringers for the fall 2025 season. Your donation will help us purchase music, maintain equipment, and commission new handbell pieces as part of our mission to increase diverse representation in the handbell community. 

Our Impact:

"The world needs Ring Out because it shows a different kind of queer/ally story. This group is about making a celebratory and accessible space for people to share in making music. It’s about coming together in times of isolation, building each other up in times of despair, and sharing joy in times of fear." -Erica, Ring Out Member
