The Summer Carillon Festival continues in 2025 for four Sunday evenings in June.
These 45-minute concerts take place on the front lawn of St. Paul’s. In case of rain, we move inside to Tucker Hall. They are intended as informal concerts where you are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or a blanket to sit on, and, if you like, a picnic to eat during the concert.
This year, we are featuring four carillonists:
On June 8, Carson Landry, University of Rochester Carillonist, offers a varied program of Korean music, music inspired by nature, sacred music from varying traditions, and variations on familiar hymns.
Then, on June 15, Hyojin Moon, doctoral student at the University of Michigan, plays music of love and lament, grace in melody, music inspired by Gregorian chant, and music from the cinema.
Assistant Carillonist at the Church of the Covenant, Keiran Cantilina returns to offer us traditional tunes like “Scarborough Fair” and “The Water is Wide.” He also weaves a medley from Mary Poppins and ends with a Paul Simon tune.
To sum up the festival this year, St. Paul’s own carillonneur David Osburn, presents “Every Melody is Waltz” with music formed around familiar melodies in ¾ time.
Please join us for these four evenings as we enjoy the sounds of our 47-bell carillon soaring over St. Paul’s and the surrounding neighborhood.
