The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor is home to two carillons and the world's oldest university carillon program. The Charles Baird Carillon comprises 53 bronze bells weighing 43 tons, and the Lurie Carillon contains 60 bells.

These recordings are the snapshots of my work from 2008 to now. Even after all of this time, I think I'm getting better. At least a little. 

“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” -Gustav Mahler

Elisa Tersigni is a carillonist based in Toronto, Canada.

The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America is an organization of professional musicians dedicated to promoting the carillon art. It supports the development of proficient carillonneurs and encourages the building of new carillons, the improvement of existing installations, and the composition and distribution of carillon music. The Guild is a member of the World Carillon Federation.

A carillon consists of a series of at least 23 tuned bells, played from a keyboard that allows expressiveness through variation in touch, and on which the player, or carillonneur, can play a broad range of music—from arrangements of popular and classical music to original compositions created just for the carillon. Carillon bells can be heard throughout North America, in cities, at churches, on school campuses, in public parks, and in many other places where people gather.
