Widmann will also perform after the Fourth of July fireworks show. So we have plenty of opportunities to hear one of only two carillons in the state in action. I wonder if Widmann can play the theme from the Simpsons? :-) There are weekly carillon recitals at noon on Sundays, and during the Summer Concert Series, Widmann or other carilloneurs perform before the Sunday night shows, starting at 6 PM.

She let us press a few "keys". It's pretty amazing to see how it all works. It's much more than pressing keys like an organ :-) It's definitely worth the fun climb up the spiral staircase!
