Adam Lenhart & Vinson Lam, carillon: Celebrating the life, legacy & music of CASS ELLIOT

View Program

Adam Lenhart & Vinson Lam perform a 30 minute recital on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons. The program celebrates the life, legacy & music of Cass Elliot (1941-1974) as part of Lenhart’s American Women Concert Series.

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.

NOTE: The elevator is currently out of order. Visitors are invited to listen outside in Gerstacker Grove, but are also welcome to climb the tower stairs if they wish to observe the performer at the keyboard.
