The Glee Handbell Choir from Tokyo, Japan, will offer a free concert in Orange City on Thursday, Aug. 1^st. The event will take place at 7 p.m. in Northwestern College’s Christ Chapel.

The Glee Handbell Choir was established in 1980. The choir has toured since 1981, performing several times in Orange City. This is the 48th year of the  High School’s  exchange program, and graduating seniors from the Tokyo high school have visited Northwestern for a three-week winter English program since 2012.

The bell choir’s 90-minute program will include a variety of pieces including “Joyful, Joyful,” some Glenn Miller classics, “Waltz of the Flowers” from “The Nutcracker” and the “Star Wars” theme by John Williams.
