The Dorothy Shaw Bell Choir is an internationally acclaimed handbell choir based in Fort Worth, Texas. Founded in 1964 to participate in Fort Worth's annual Christmas play-pageant, "The Littlest Wiseman", the choir has since evolved into a world-renowned musical organization.

The Dorothy Shaw Bell Choir is truly unique among handbell ensembles because the ringers use neither tables nor gloves, and because they perform from memory without the guidance of a Conductor! Because the choir is thus unencumbered, they are able to adapt to any setting. The choir's members come from throughout the Fort Worth / Dallas Metroplex and are all students from middle school through college age.

The Dorothy Shaw Bell Choir performs a vast and wide-ranging repertoire, from classical to contemporary. They have appeared at Carnegie Hall with Skitch Henderson and the New York Pops; at The Vatican for Pope John Paul II; in Adelaide, South Australia, for an audience of over 30,000 people; and at retirement centers, churches, and other venues throughout the world.
