Fall Concert Series - 2007

 

 

Carol Benesh (Kee-lo)

 

One of the more senior apprentices, Carol has been ringing the Darke Memorial Chimes (12 English bells) since 1996.  The tower bells are her first musical instrument.  She has not graduated to full bell ringer status as she enjoys the more ‘volunteer’ aspects of belonging to the Regina Bell Ringers, like tours and mentoring the new apprentices.  There are also the tasks of cataloguing the tower music and art, creating and formatting the concert programs & advertisements and then there are the books.  Carol discovered early in life her forte of data processing.  Show her a document, file, spreadsheet, database, program, picture, electronic data of any kind, tell her what you want, it becomes information, then knowledge.  It is done.  Time flies for her when she is on the computer as her family can well attest.

 

Carol has two lovely daughters, Jade and Azure, who are also bell ringers and are currently pursing the things in life that they love most (definitely not computer work J).

Anna Tunison

 

Anna is the youngest bell ringer in the tower to-date.  She started when she was 6 years old and is now 9 soon to be 10.  One of the challenges of starting so young is that she has twice the beginner apprentice exercises since she could not physically reach the other side of the ring of twelve ropes.  This extra work when she was smaller leads to some amazing technique.  Just this September Anna has finished the first level of apprenticeship and has started her intermediate apprenticeship. One of Anna’s favoruite pieces to play is Kazjedia. She calls it the ‘flying squirrel’ song because she literally has to fly from one end of the ring of ropes to the other.

 

Anna studies piano with Sandra Cosbey and trumpet with Mark Peece.  Anna likes to play water polo and is coached by Abby Schneider.  Anna is in grade 5 at Ecole Monseiguener de Laval.  Anna is also in grade 2 at the Chinese Alliance school learning Cantonese.

F. Wayne Tunison

 

Wayne has been a bell ringer for more than three decades.   He is the father of four children.  As a patriotic promoter of the Regina Arts scene, he enjoys discovering the creative gems, which this prairie city often produces.

 

Wayne is a multidisciplinary artist interested in combining various media for exotic communication effects.  Wayne enjoys drawing, painting and computer graphics.  Wayne has produced more than 100 videos in the last 20 years.  As an engineer, Wayne researches techniques for articulating technical speculation, in other words, “How can we share our science fiction dreams with others?” 

 

Wayne encourages the multicultural aspects of the Regina Bell Ringers along with the local composers.
