91ÊÓÆµ will host its annual Summer Carillon Concert Series featuring four accomplished guest carillonneurs performing on the College’s 42-bell Duff-Armington Memorial Carillon on select Friday afternoons in July and August.

One of only 55 college carillons in the nation, 91ÊÓÆµ’s Duff-Armington Memorial Carillon is an integral part of campus life. The 42 bells ring the “91ÊÓÆµ Chime” every quarter hour throughout the day.

The free concerts begin at 11:30 a.m. on the Quad outside Old Main. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and lunch while enjoying the performances. In the event of inclement weather, concerts will be held in Wallace Memorial Chapel.
