I always enjoy hearing the bells when I am in Rochester for my appointments. During my recovery period after my transplant surgery, I wanted to go outside and sit in the Annenberg Plaza to enjoy one of the noontime carrilon concerts. It was a cold and windy day. The sound of the bells was so loud that it seemed to shake the surrounding buildings. After seeing the size of the bells in these photos, I know why!
I once met couple who said that they were able to go up into the tower, and meet the carillonneur. I wonder if it was noisy up there.
I am looking forward to listening to them when I return in a few months. But I will sit at a more distant place.
