Widely considered the best handbell group in the US.

-- Sarah Cahill
East Bay Express

Their music stunned us all. The four thousand audience members went wild, just as we knew they would.

-- Garrison Keillor
Host, A Prairie Home Companion

Olympians of handbell ringers.

-- Joyce Johnson Hamilton
Music Director, Diablo Symphony

The musicianship ... is solid, and the musical values regarding repertoire and its execution are invariably of the highest order. So is the sound.

Filmed in 10 countries around the world by Academy Award winning videographer Eric Thiermann and produced by Ellen St. Thomas, this documentary, premiering at the Pacific Rim Film Festival in October 2011, explores the importance of bells in the lives of people of various cultures. The half-ton Sigismund bell from the Krakow Cathedral, temple bells from Kyoto, Greek pagan festival bells and echoes from Tibet are but a few samples lavishly filmed, with appearances and soundtrack from Sonos and narration by Alexsandra Wolska. From the wake up alarm to the ceremonial ringing, daily life owes a lot to the humble bell. The Sonos Trio makes a short live appearance. The production of this film was made possible by Salon de Sachant.
