Benjamin Kennedy '18
Eight Bells Director
The Eight Bells were founded in 1967 by Geneva College students with a love for singing. Their name comes from one of the first songs they ever sang; a sea-shanty about the eight bells rung to end the night’s watch. Over the years, the ensemble has had more than a hundred members, supporting the rich musical heritage of Geneva College. Today, the Eight Bells are a subset of The Genevans Choir, the student choir of Geneva College, allowing them to travel across the country and around the world, bringing laughter and joy through their singing.
Membership in the Eight Bells is on an audition basis and is eligible to current members of The Genevans Choir. Members are chosen based on their musical ability, along with performance and teamwork skills.
