Holiday Bells, Mallets & Drums
Holiday Bells, Mallets & Drums
The Mt. Lebanon Percussions Holiday Bells, Mallets & Drums Concert Series has entertained thousands of Pittsburgh area residents since its inaugural season in 1996. Inspired by the University of Oklahoma Percussion Ensemble s popular CD Christmas Bells, Mallets & Drums, this concert series has become a Mt. Lebanon holiday tradition.
In addition to performances at Mt. Lebanon High School , concert venues have included the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh, The Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children as well as numerous area nursing homes and churches. Since 1996, the Mt. Lebanon Percussion has performed the music of Holiday Bells, Mallets & Drums as the featured musical ensemble for the KDKA-TV/Childrens Hospital Free Care Fund Telethon. This 3-hour live broadcast is viewed in more than 60,000 homes each year and has greatly contributed to the popularity of the Mt. Lebanon Percussion.
The ensemble thanks Dr. Richard C. Gipson, former Director of Percussion Studies at the University of Oklahoma , for his many arrangements of holiday music contained on this CD and for his continued support of the Mt. Lebanon Percussion Ensemble.
