Cathy Moklebust (b. 1958) has developed and directed handbell music programs since 1983 and
has played bells since childhood. With her dynamic, positive approach and skilled conducting, she
is in national demand as a handbell clinician and festival conductor. As one of today’s most
popular handbell music composers, she has written nearly 500 compositions and arrangements,
many of them reaching bestseller status. Her music has been described as “pure joy to ring and
listen to, having a uniquely delightful sense of melodic and rhythmic interaction, with elegant
form and style.” She has been commissioned to write music for festivals and other events, as
well as for many individual handbell ensembles, including nine for the Raleigh Ringers. Cathy’s
music has been broadcast on SiriusXM, Spotify, Pandora, and other digital music players.

Cathy earned both her B.A. (Music/Percussion, 1982) and M.Ed. (Teacher Education/Music,
1988) at South Dakota State University, in her hometown of Brookings, SD. She attended her
first handbell event as a high school student, when the Towers Handbell Choir participated in
the 1975 AGEHR National Handbell Festival in Logan, UT, under the director of the late Donald
Allured. Cathy and her husband reside in Brookings, SD. They have 4 grown children and 8
grandchildren.
