Ellen Dickinson plays the Lurie Carillon

Join us at Lurie Tower to hear Ellen Dickinson, College Carillonneur at Trinity College and Yale University. More than thirty of her students have completed the exam process to become Carillonneur members of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA). In 2020, Dickinson was commissioned by a consortium of six colleges to write A New Carillon Book, a beginning carillon lesson book featuring diverse music from many people and places, and original music.
Dickinson has served the GCNA in many capacities, most recently as chair of the Sally Slade Warner Arrangements and Transcriptions Competition. She was awarded the GCNA Certificate of Extraordinary Service in 2017 for distinguished service to the carillon art worldwide.

CONCERT INFORMATION: Summer carillon concerts are free and open to all, including to families and their pets. The music happens rain or shine. When you arrive, take a program from the stand near the tower and have a seat outdoors wherever you like, or bring your own lawn chair or blanket (even your own picnic!). Concert staff wearing nametags will be available to answer questions or direct you to accessible restrooms and other facilities. For best acoustics, sit far enough away from the tower to have a direct line of sight to the bells.
PARKING: Paid metered visitor parking is available behind the Walgreen Drama Center. Additional street parking along Bonisteel Blvd. is available after business hours, as well as parking by the E.V. Moore Building (lot NC10), the North Campus Recreation Building (lot NC44), and the Art & Architecture Building (lot NC43) (all free after 6 p.m.).
