Howard Skempton: Five Rings Triples

Commissioned by Central Council of Church Bell Ringers and Third Ear

Saturday 14 July 2012

Bells proclaim moments of public gathering, of celebration and of important news.
Five Rings Triples is a new work by Howard Skempton for eight church bells to mark the Olympic year, performed in Southbank Centre Square.

Skempton is a composer of rare imagination known for writing music of deceptive simplicity and beauty.

The project is led by the CCCBR in partnership with music production company Third Ear.
