The McGaffin Carillon joins many of the 680 carillons worldwide this weekend who will play a message of peace and support for the people of Ukraine. This symbolic action was set up by the World Carillon Federation, and is fully supported by both the Russian and Ukrainian carilllonists.
Before each selection a bell will toll the number in the program.
The carillon can be heard from the grounds around the tower including the Case Western Reserve Campus behind the tower away from the Euclid Avenue traffic noise. Concerts are rain or shine and your car is also a place to hear the concert. Horn honking is an accepted form of applause at the end of the program.
