Carillon Concert is New Commencement Tradition

The innovation at this year's undergraduate commencement will be a post-ceremony carillon concert on the grounds of the campus's beloved Old Chapel at 12:30 p.m.

The campus's 42-bell Henry Vincent Couper Memorial Carillon will be put through its paces by carillonneur Charles Semowich, who from a keyboard inside the Old Chapel will perform an hour's worth of traditional, classical and popular selections.
