Hopeman Memorial Carillon
Exhibit:
The Builder's Bells
"The Builder’s Bells: The Hopeman Memorial Chime and Carillon" will be on exhibit in the Great Hall of the Rush Rhees Library and will continue until September 30, 2012.
The exhibit will be available for viewing during normal Rush Rhees Library hours.
The Hopeman Memorial Carillon, a set of bells played from a keyboard and pedalboard, hangs in the tower of Rush Rhees Library. It is one of only seven carillons in New York State. At 50 bells, it is considered a large carillon; by comparison the world's largest carillon in Bloomfield, Michigan has 77 bells. Carillonist Doris Aman and her students perform frequently throughout the year and especially to mark major university events. Contact Doris at doris.aman@gmail.com.
