Siskiyou Summit Handbell Conference, Ashland, Oregon
May 6-7, 2011
"Plays Well with Others"
Guest Clinician: Michael Glasgow

Michael J. Glasgow is originally from Michigan. He holds B.A. degrees in music theory/composition and in journalism as well as a Master of Church Music degree from Concordia University, Wisconsin as the program's first double-emphasis student, in both choral and handbell music.

In addition to many professional affiliations and his full-time position as the Minister of Music at North Raleigh UMC (Raleigh, NC), Michael serves as Bass Section Leader for the North Carolina Master Chorale and the Choral Conductor for the Tar River Orchestra & Chorus. He is a dynamic, energizing conductor who connects well with people and music, and as such is sought after for conducting engagements throughout the country.

As a composer, Michael keeps busy with commissions and his own projects, and he strives to creatively advance the art of handbell ringing. He was awarded a first prize in the 2006 Soundprint Productions Composition Contest for his original jazz handbell piece, Celerity; as well as first prize in the 2007 Bells of the Sound "Three Ring Circus" Composition Contest for Bumping Noses. His most recent contest win is for Welcome the King, an SATB carol accompanied by solo viola, created for the 2009 VocalEssence "Welcome Christmas" composition contest.

Michael is proud to be an integral part in the development of new handbell events, having conducted the first three annual Anthornis events for advanced ringers in Minneapolis in 2008-2010. He also serves as the Editor for the AGEHR Area III newsletter, The Bell-O-Gram, and is a member of ASCAPand American Composers Forum. Additional information and samples of Michael's work may be found at www.michaeljglasgow.com.

This year, handbell choirs will choose to be in Tins or Coppers as well as perform in a mass ring, directed by Bells of the Sound's director, Shirley Lindberg. This is a great opportunity for ringers in Eastern Washington, Idaho, and Northeast Oregon to come together for some great ringing and learn more skills in classes given by capable instructors! We look forward to a 2nd successful Desert Ring!
