The Alleluia Ringers, just one of Concordia University’s fine musical groups (www.cuw.edu), is comprised of 13 undergraduate students who ring 6 octaves (73 bells) and 6 1/2 octaves of handchimes (79). The group is chosen by audition each fall. This is the 26th year under the direction of Dr. John Behnke.
The Alleluia Ringers tour throughout the United States and have appeared seven times with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
Besides performing throughout the United States, The Alleluia Ringers has made three tours of Germany, two tours of Norway, and performed twice at national events of The American Guild of English Handbell Ringers (AGEHR).
Director, Dr. John Behnke, serves as Professor of Music at Concordia University Wisconsin. He is highly acclaimed as an organ recitalist and teacher, handbell director and clinician, and composer of church music. His compositions are in print with 17 different publishers in the United States, Taiwan, and Germany, and he has been the recipient of ASCAP composers grants each year since 1998.
