The goals of Opus Handbell Ensemble include enjoyment, education, outreach, challenge and growth. It is our purpose to:

  1. Provide enjoyment of beautiful music for all who listen to us as well as those who ring.
  2. Educate people, entertain audiences, make music for all and promote the art of handbell ringing in the greater Modesto area.
  3. Challenge ourselves to grow musically, spiritually and professionally in a creative, caring and nurturing atmosphere.

Opus is a group of musicians whose goal is to advance the art of handbell ringing. Unaffiliated with any church or organization Opus' repertoire includes a wide selection of sacred and secular music.


Opus has performed in the greater Modesto area, including Tracy Festival of Trees and Bakersfield 12th Night Handbell Festival, private parties, memorial services, and weddings. Opus was one of ten featured choirs to perform for hundreds of handbell enthusiasts at Pinnacle 2000 in Las Vegas, an AGEHR sponsored event geared toward professional groups.

With over 150 combined years of bell ringing experience, let Opus provide a Touch of Bronze! to your special event.
