In the News

Carillon studio graduate Wade FitzGerald (BM Outside Field/'19) was appointed Associate Instructor of Carillon and University Carillonneur at Indiana University, Bloomington, in Fall 2022.  

The UF carillon was featured in a recent article in the Orange and Blue Magazine. Carillonneur Ryan Childress was featured!

Carlos Colón-Ortiz, a biomedical engineering student with a music performance minor in carillon, was awarded a 2022 SallySlade Warner Arrangement & Transcription Performance Award. His work was a transcription of El Coquí, a traditional Puerto Rican Danza by José Ignacio Quintón (1881-1925). Due to this distinction his piece was performed at the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon at the University of Chicago (IL) during the annual congress of The Guild of Carillonneurs of North America in June 2022.

Florida carillons were featured in a recent segment of Florida Frontiers. The carillon discussion begins at the 21:20 mark of the show (or when there is about 7:39 left in the program). The feature includes sounds from the UF carillon and interviews with Dr. Ellis and UF carillon studio graduate, Wade FitzGerald! Thanks to Margot Winick for this wonderful feature on the carillon art in Florida.
