Welcome to Bell Appeal!

Bell Appeal is a San Francisco-based community handbell ensemble sponsored by Bethany United Methodist Church. We're "not your mama's handbell choir" as we have made it our mission to perform a wide range of genres, incorporate singers and instrumentalists from the community, and most importantly, to HAVE FUN while we make great music together.

​

You wouldn't find many of our pieces in a typical handbell repertoire since our goal is to “appeal” to all tastes. Previous concerts have featured a handbell spin on jazz, classic rock, musical theater, and current pop music. We have performed concerts that bring together pieces as varied as Fun.'s "Carry On," "Same Love" by Macklemore, and "Feeling Good" as performed by Michael Bublé.

​​

Any event can be enriched by the distinctive sound of Bell Appeal, and we are available for weddings, office parties, anniversaries, birthday parties, and memorial services. We have performed in a variety of venues including Neibaum-Coppola Winery, Alta Mira Hotel, Hornblower Yachts, at the SF Pride Band's Dance Along Nutcracker, and at the Castro Theater. We would be thrilled to add your event to the list.

​​

Bell Appeal rehearses Thursday nights in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood and welcomes all levels of ringers.
