The Carillon Concert on July 17th was well attended by both Trinity members and folks from the community. A dedicated group of volunteers provided supper and popcorn. We are hoping to continue and expand this popular tradition next summer.
Our Guest Artist was Ellen Dickinson, University Carillonneur at Yale University, and College Carillonist at Trinity College. In 2020, Ellen was commissioned by a consortium of colleges to write A New Carillon Book, a beginning carillon lesson book featuring diverse music from many people and places, as well as original music. Ellen has been responsible for commissioning 65 new pieces for carillon, including the largest new music project in the history of the carillon art: “50 for the 50th,” 50 new works in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Yale Memorial Carillon.
