Paccard Bell Foundry Visit
Christoph Paccard, the 7TH generation bell maker, visited Lake of the Isles to hear the bells forged in the Paccard Bell Foundry in Annecy, France on September 12TH. He was in the Twin Cities for the inauguration of the bells at Westminster Presbyterian.
Paccard bells are now placed in churches and temples around the world. Christoph Paccardwas traveling later to Viet Nam and Japan. Surprisingly, Paccard’s largest bell is in Japan in the World Peace Garden.

A Season of Reflection
2022-2023
September 18
November 6
February 5
May 14
Welcome to the Isles Ensemble’s 2022-23 Season!
We look forward to being together, in person again, in the beautiful sanctuary of Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church.
As we emerge from the isolation and uncertainty of the pandemic, we, like all of you, are trying to make sense of its impact on us as a community and as individuals.
Our four programs this season center on themes of despair, loneliness, and grief – but also of hope, triumph, and jubilation.
All concerts are on Sundays at 4:00 pm.
We look forward to visiting with you at our post-concert receptions!
Admission is $25, or pay as you are able. Children and students are admitted free of charge.
Tickets may be purchased at the door, or online.
