The memorial concert program includes "In Memoriam-September 11, 2011" by John Courter; "My Country tis of Thee" arranged by Lee Cobb; "I am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger" arranged by Milford Myhre and Leen t'Hart; "Imagine" by John Lennon, arranged by Zachary Lebold '13; "Ashokan" by J.

Carillon music will be performed by students of the University's Carillon Society. The concert will take place rain or shine. It is free and open to the public.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the installation of the Hopeman Memorial Carillon. Installed in 1973, the majestic instrument housed in the upper-most chamber at the top of Rush Rhees tower consists of 50 bells that were cast in bronze by Royal Eijsbouts Bellfoundry of Asten in the Netherlands. One of only seven carillons in New York, the more than three ton instrument is regularly played by students of the University's Carillon Society, who perform classic and modern musical compositions for campus events, holidays, and special concerts. The ringing of the carillon bells also marks special community, state, and national events.

The U.S. and University flags will be flown at half-staff to remember 9/11 victims on the 12th anniversary of the attack.
