They were installed and dedicated in November 1973. The instrument is one of only seven carillons in New York State and it&#8217;s played regularly by students of the Carillon Society. Throughout the year, the sounds of the carillon can be heard on campus as the traditional melody known as \u201cWestminster Quarters\u201d marks every quarter hour. Student performers also perform classic and modern compositions for campus events, holidays, and special impromptu concerts. In addition, the University hosts an annual summer carillon series that brings internationally acclaimed performers to Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>Honey Meconi, chair of the<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/mur\/index.html\"> Department of Music,<\/a><\/strong> says the carillon program is booming thanks to Doris Aman, director of carillon activities. \u201cAlthough we are sad that the carillon is silent for now, we&#8217;re very pleased that the bells are being restored,\u201d says Meconi. \u201cRochester weather is tough on the carillon, and a refurbished instrument is a must for safety purposes.\u201d Recently, the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/mur\/carillon\/giving.html\">Hopeman Carillon Fund<\/a> <\/strong>was established to cover the cost of maintenance and renovation to the carillon. \u201cWe have many student performers and loyal alumni and alumnae who are eager for the return of the bells,\u201d Meconi says.<\/p>\n<p>The bells should back in time for planned concerts during Meliora Weekend. \u201cOur carillon team is already preparing&#8221; says Aman. \u201cWe will begin weekly informal rings as soon as the bells are functional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Photos<br \/>\n<\/strong>(University photos\/J.
