Bring Estonia to the USA!

Donation protected
Help us Bring  Campanelli Handbell Ensemble from Estonia to the USA
in 2017!  SCROLL DOWN for New Concert Dates!

 In October 2013, composer, Susan T. Nelson was invited to Tallinn, Estonia by conductor Inna Lai to attend an “author’s concert” in her honor. The two dreamed of bringing this “Sue’s Blues” concert to the USA, and with your help we will realize this goal, July 2017!  We are thrilled to announce that this concert will feature works by noted Estonian composers Inna Lai and Liis Viira, in addition to Susan’s compositions.  Please show your support for women composers and the art of ringing by donating to this exciting, groundbreaking event!

Click HERE for the article in the Hamilton Post to learn the story behind this international collaboration; and HERE for the commercial documentary film about that project. 

100% of monies donated will go directly to fund this project so all donors play an active role in bringing these fine musicians to the United States. Find out if your employer has a “Matching Funds Program” which may double your gift.  Sponsored by the Estonia Outreach Committee, Hamilton Twp., NJ.
