Carillon Recital: Native American Heritage Month Kickoff

Associate Professors Tiffany Ng and Jessi Grieser and students perform music by Indigenous composers Connor Chee, Dawn Ieri’hó:kwats Avery, and Beverley McKiver. They will play the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.

Thirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.
