When All Else Fails...

Bells of the Cascades and Pikes Peak Ringers host the world premiere of “When All Else Fails…”, a full-scale suite featuring handbells, voice, string quartet piano, percussion, and woodwinds. Composed by BOC’s very own conductor Matthew Compton, each movement is based on a poem, quote, text, or phrase exemplifying a value that gets us through hard times (such as friendship, love, hope, peace, and more). Alongside this powerful piece, the program also features beloved favorites and brings together Bells of the Cascades, the Pikes Peak Ringers, and numerous instrumentalists and vocalists for a truly memorable collaboration.
