Stephanie “Stevie” Berryman
Handbell Ensemble Director, Trinity University – San Antonio Artistic Director, River City Ringers – San Antonio Creator and Program Director, Strikepoint Initiative Co-Owner, Truly Horrible Things
Stevie Berryman lights up festival podiums with her humor, creativity, and ability to draw moving performances out of ringers at any skill level. She is the director of the Handbell Ensemble at Trinity University and the Artistic Director of River City Ringers in San Antonio. She wears the titles of handbell clinician, arranger, and educator but is best known for her imaginative and immersive concert programming. A self-professed “technique geek,” Stevie has a particular passion for teaching beginners how to ring, and her innovative, play-based methods have made her a sought-after educator and clinician at area, national, and international handbell festivals. She loves helping other choirs as a private clinician or planning epic concerts for them as a creative consultant. She and her husband Paul are co-owners of Truly Horrible Things, a snarky card game company, even though her mother always told her that no one would ever pay her to be sarcastic.
