Bells of the Cascades is very excited to have Pikes Peak Ringers joining us in June for the World Premier of Matthew Compton's "When All Else Fails..." This is a full-scale work featuring handbells, voice, string quartet, piano, percussion, and woodwinds! Each movement is based on a poem, quote, text, or phrase exemplifying a value that gets us through hard times, like friendship, love, hope, peace, and many more.
