Ring. Slay. Repeat.
From tender and heartfelt to bold and bedazzling, Slay Bells Ring is your invitation to step away from the scroll, gather the people you love, and celebrate the holidays exactly as you are. Bring your own bells (BYOB) and ring in the season with a holiday spectacular that honors timeless traditions—then turns them gloriously upside down. Joyful audience participation is a given.
Whatever your holiday looks like, there's a seat, and a song, here for you.
This isn’t your average holiday concert. Here’s what to expect.
Slay Bells Ring is the kind of afternoon that reminds you why you love being in a room of people who are really, truly present. TCGMC brings award-winning musical excellence to one of the Twin Cities' most iconic stages alongside the shimmering sounds of Bells of the Lakes handbell ensemble, campy surprises, and the kind of full-throated holiday magic that only 160+ voices live onstage can create. Expect the unexpected, bring your people, and leave your holiday stress at the door.
