The Hopeman Memorial Carillon Summer Recital Series is set to begin on Monday, July 7 on the 人妻少妇专区\u2019s River 人妻少妇专区. The free outdoor concerts on the Eastman Quadrangle are open to the public and continue each Monday in July.<\/p>\n
The program will begin at 7 p.m., rain or shine, and last about an hour. Concert-goers are encouraged to bring folding chairs, blankets, snacks or picnics, and relax on the lawn on the west side of Rush Rhees Library. The annual event features carillonneurs who travel throughout the world to perform music specifically written for the instrument of bells. This summer\u2019s programs include Mediterranean folk songs and classical arrangements by Johann Sebastian Bach as well as the familiar medleys of The<\/em> Sound of Music<\/em> and Disney\u2019s Cinderella<\/em>. Following the concerts, attendees are invited to meet the performer on the library steps.<\/p>\n Housed in the upper-most chamber at the top of Rush Rhees tower, the Hopeman Memorial Carillon consists of 50 bells that were cast in bronze by Royal Eijsbouts Bellfoundry of Asten in the Netherlands. Throughout the year, the sounds of the carillon can be heard on campus as the traditional melody known as \u201cWestminster Quarters\u201d marks every quarter hour. One of only seven carillons in New York, the more than three-ton instrument is regularly played by students of the University\u2019s Carillon Society, who perform classic and modern musical compositions for campus events, holidays, and special impromptu concerts. The ringing of the carillon bells also marks special community, state, and national events.<\/p>\n Performer schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
