Brenda E Austin

Welcome

Thanks for visiting my website and being interested in my handbell music. I would love to talk with you about directing a festival or workshop or writing a special composition. Make yourself at home on my website, and listen to some of my music on the Compositions page.  ​

If you are interested in commissioning an original composition or an arrangement, or you would like some help with a festival or workshop, feel free to contact me.

"Brenda is passionate about making and sharing the gift of music. Her sparkle is evident in the care with which she prepares ensembles for worship or performance, the choice of repertoire selected, and the sense of community she builds within and among the various groups with which she works. Brenda is someone for whom musicians want to work hard and do their very best because it is clear that she is giving no less than her best! "~ Ringer Lynette
