In place of a regular recital, the public is welcome to visit and observe as students take a lesson on the carillon led by Prof. Tiffany Ng.

The Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon is an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.

Visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells, or to level 3 to see the carillon lesson. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.
