The ensemble performs on both handbells and handchimes and regularly presents concerts in concert halls, churches, schools, and community centers.
In addition to performances, the group also conducts educational outreach workshops designed to inspire audiences and demonstrate the artistic possibilities of handbell music.
According to the organization, its mission is to provide musical excellence through innovative performances and education using the medium of handbells.
