Summer Carillon Series
Carillonneurs from the United States, Belgium, and the
Netherlands will give free concerts at Tagart Memorial
Chapel from 7 to 8 p.m. on Friday evenings, July 5 through
August 2, rain or shine. Tours of the bell tower will be
available after the concerts on July 5, July 12, and August
2.
July 5: Julianne Vanden Wyngaard, Wyoming, Michigan
July 12: Gerard de Waardt, the Netherlands
July 19: Lisa Lonie and Janet Tebbel, Blue Bell and
Philadelphia, PA
July 26: Philippe Beullens, Belgium
August 2: Buck Lyon-Vaiden, McDonogh School
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.
