Cast In Bronze

Description

The carillon was created in Flanders (an area of northern Europe now occupied by the Netherlands, Belgium and northern France) about five centuries ago to provide a musical voice to bell towers to raise the spirits of the residents. The bells (23 or more) are hung in a stationary manner and the clappers are connected to a mechanical keyboard played with fists and feet. Carillon playing requires musical dexterity, strength and endurance. Cast in Bronze is the first and only transportable carillon in the U.S. and the only full time musical act in the world which features the carillon. Today, many carillons have fallen into disrepair or are simply no longer played because of lack of funding or interest. Those carillons that can still be heard are all funded by government agencies, institutions or through an endowment fund provided by a generous benefactor. Cast in Bronze is the only musical act in history utilizing the carillon that sustains itself solely by live performances and recording sales. It receives no financial assistance from any other source.
