A group of some of Brisbane’s top musicians, playing some of the world’s most unusual classical instruments, visited Kingaroy recently as part of a tour of regional Queensland.<\/p>\n

The Brisbane Bells held a workshop at the Maryknoll Centre for local residents interested in bell-ringing.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Catholic College music teacher Jane Iszlaub said 17 people turned up to have a go at playing the specially tuned classical handbells.<\/p>\n

The regional tour, which is also taking in Bundaberg and Rockhampton, is a prelude to the group’s performance as part of the\u00a0Spirit of Christmas concert at the Queensland Performing Arts Complex in December, and the International Handbell Symposium in Cairns in 2018.<\/p>\n

After the workshop, the Brisbane Bells put on a concert for music lovers, also in the Maryknoll Centre.<\/p>\n

Local singer Ashleigh Reinbott sang a few songs in accompaniment to the bellringers.<\/p>\n
