Carson Landry, Eric Whitmer, & Nat Oliven, carillon
Tree of Life Remembrance Recital
Students commemorate the antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha Congregation synagogue (Pittsburgh, PA) on its fifth anniversary.
Carson Landry, Eric Whitmer, & Nat Oliven perform a recital on the Charles Baird Carillon, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell, which strikes the hour, weighs 12 tons, while the smallest bell, 4½ octaves above, weighs just 15 pounds.
Thirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8), and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon: https://smtd.umich.edu/facilities/ann-and-robert-h-lurie-carillon/
