Faculty and alumni performers Tiffany Ng (University Carillonist), Associate Professor Jessi Grieser, and Dr. Jenna HyoJin Moon perform musical selections in honor of civil rights activists, including "In-Visibility" by Emmy-award-winning composer Jasmine Barnes, whose piece celebrates the invisible, behind-the-scenes work of those who support their communities, and songs drawn from the life of John Lewis as illustrated in his autobiographical trilogy March.

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). Protective earmuffs are available. 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 simultaneous MLK Day noontime recital at the Lurie Carillon and see the bells on the second floor.

This concert is held as part of the annual U-M Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium.
