Tuesday, June 26, 2018 - 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Join us for a private tour and concert of Yale’s Harkness Bell Tower! Members of the Guild of Carillonneurs will be giving us a behind-the-scenes tour of the Yale Memorial Carillion, a musical instrument composed of at least 23 bells, their practice rooms, and Harkness Bell Tower. The Guild is the extremely talented student organization responsible for ringing the bells in Harkness Tower. Each fall, the current members give lessons to freshmen and sophomores (and sometimes graduate students) on the practice carillon, before they officially audition for a chance to join the Guild.The tour will last about 20 minutes and the concert will last about 45 minutes. This event is open to the Yale Community, but spaces are very limited so everyone must register. If you are on the waitlist, you cannot attend unless someone from OISS contacts you directly.Please note that you will have to walk up 9 flights of stairs. There is no elevator service and it is not possible to bring strollers.
