Summer Carillon Series Announced
Carillonneurs from the U.S. and the Netherlands will give
free concerts at Tagart Memorial Chapel from 7 to 8 p.m. on
Friday evenings, July 6 through August 3, rain or shine.
Tours of the bell tower will be available after the concerts
on July 6, 13, and 20.
July 6 Buck Lyon-Vaiden, McDonogh School
July 13 Dick van Dijk, the Netherlands
July 20 Adolph Rots and Auke de Boer, the Netherlands
July 27 Margaret Pan, California
August 3 Edward Nassor, Virginia
Bring a picnic supper, lawn chairs and blankets, or
listen from your parked car. Seating is also available in
the chapel. Children are welcome to use the playground
behind Elderkin Hall.
The McDonogh carillon, one of approximately 180 in North
America, consists of 48 bells, ranging in weight from 24
pounds to 1.6 tons. It is one of only two of its size in
Maryland.
A carillon is connected with mechanical wires to a
keyboard and a pedalboard. The keyboard is split into two
rows of spindle-like wooden keys that are struck by half-
closed fists. The pedalboard, similar to that of an organ,
controls the two lowest octaves. Carillon music includes
classical, hymns, folk, popular melodies, and original
compositions.
The bells were cast and tuned in the Netherlands by the
Petit and Fritsen Foundry, which dates back to 1660.
