The annual summer carillon concert series wraps up August 18 with a performance by Middlebury’s own carillonneur George Matthew Jr. beginning at 3 p.m.

Matthew has been playing the carillon at Middlebury since 1985 when the instrument was enlarged to its present size with bells made by Paccard-Fonderie des Cloches in Annecy, France. This new video documents the history of the carillon on campus and gives viewers a rare look into the bell tower and the inner workings of the instrument.
