Message-ID: [image: Yale Summer Carillon Series 2025 Banner.png] Dear friends, Things really do seem to be heating up in New Haven? *Our Summer Series finally kicks off in Branford Courtyard TONIGHT, June 20 at 7pm, with the dazzling Paul Stelben*! As always, please spread the word far and wide to all your friends and family; all are welcome, and the more the merrier. The gates at Branford College open at 6:30pm, with the performance running from 7:00-8:00pm. Bring a picnic basket, blanket and/or lawn-chairs along! Some of our guildmembers will also be around to help you or answer any questions you may have?spot us by our blue lanyards and pink nametags. We love to chat, so please don?t be shy! Nothing compares to the feeling of being bathed in the sounds of bells in the open air, enjoying the evening together with others. But, if you are unable to make it, *some concerts may be livestreamed and the recording posted afterwards (depending on our recording engineer?s availability) on our YouTube channel*, at https://www.youtube.com/@yaleguild. No guarantees on which concerts will be streamed and recorded, though, so we recommend always aiming for attendance in person to avoid disappointment! The Guild is also delighted to offer *tours of Harkness Tower* as part of the Summer Carillon Concert Series, prior to most Friday concerts. These tours are strictly capped at 15 persons per tour, on a first-come, first-served basis. The tour will begin promptly at 5:30pm (meeting at the corner of High St and Library Walk), and last about half an hour. The tour requires climbing over 130 steps to the carillon playing cabin, spread over the tour duration. Please ensure your friends and family the Summer Series mailing list here for information about these tours and the series in general. Tours will take place throughout the summer, so don't fret if you don't get a spot this time round! You can also request an ordinary tour (for days other than Fridays) on our site: http://yalecarillon.org/request-tour. We have attached Paul?s program for tonight to this email. He will be doubly showcasing his prowess as a musician by performing a number of his own awe-inspiring arrangements for carillon. His program notes and bio also follow below; his love for the instrument and its music is truly infectious. > Many people experience the carillon simply passing by, moving through the > world, just as I first did here at Yale. My goal is to grab their > attention, both with a compelling playing style and with unexpected songs. > All of these selections are arrangements of mine, originally inspired by > different people I interact with in life: friends, family, students, etc. > As these songs have become more meaningful to me, they have come to > represent for me not just moving through the world but moving through life: > searching within myself, connecting with others, grounding myself, > reflecting on the world around me, and renewing my sense of commitment. As > I tell my story, I hope that you will find your own meaning in the ebb and > flow of this progression.

Paul grew up in Connecticut studying piano and bassoon, > and then at Yale, he studied carillon with Ellen Dickinson. Currently, he > teaches general music, modern band, drumline, and musical theater at a > small charter school network based in the Olney section of Philadelphia. > Paul passed the exam to join the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America in > 2019, and he has published numerous carillon arrangements through > ArrangeMe.

In his spare time, Paul also enjoys > overly-competitive pick-up Ultimate Frisbee and trail running in just about > any weather. And for a small taste of what to look forward to this evening, Paul has kindly shared this video of him, performing one of his arrangements at Valley Forge National Historical Park: https://youtu.be/J2mbAbstd_g We can?t wait to welcome you all tonight!

Message-ID: [image: Yale Summer Carillon Series 2025 Banner.png] *This is an important one?please read to help us out, if you can!* Dear friends, *Can you believe how time has flown?* After Andrea McCrady's stunning performance last week (recording here ),* this week's concert will sadly be the last time we will all be gathering for the season... We?Reshard and Ian, your honored Summer Carillonneurs for 2025?along our wonderful team of student carillonneur assistants, have been so delighted to welcome you all each week since June*, both in person and remotely via YouTube . It's made us *so *deeply proud to see our community grow in leaps and bounds, with young listeners and old, and old listeners and new, and friends and family and strangers all joining our throng along the way?all of us discovering or rediscovering the unique joy that the carillon can bring, and feeling for ourselves how the bells have brought us all together. Across the past couple of months we've ushered in many hundreds of guests into Branford Courtyard's warm, green, sunny embrace, and brought eight professional carillonneurs to our beloved Harkness Tower from all over the United States and beyond. *Together, we've made this Summer Series one for the books. From the bottom of our hearts?thank you.* We *cannot *wait to finally perform for you ourselves tomorrow. (We may only be student performers in our very earliest years of carillon study, but we still plan to knock your socks off!) We ask that, if possible, you arrive tomorrow a bit earlier than usual, at 6:40pm?we plan to say our announcements and season's thank-yous then, so we performers can climb the tower to start the music at 7pm. As always, when we are done performing, we will come downstairs just after, where we'll say our final goodbyes to each other for the season. And, as announced last week, *our final concert will happily feature something very special*, to keep our spirit resonating long after our picnics have been packed up for the last time. *Please read on!* Many of our audience have thanked us for the joy the carillon has brought them over the past months, and asked us if there's something they can do in turn to support the carillon, financially or otherwise. We have always said that we only ask that our community spreads the word and brings new listeners along whenever they can, so the joy of the carillon can be shared with more and more people and our community can continue to grow in leaps and bounds. Now, we're delighted to announce another way of giving back and supporting the carillon: *At our own concert tomorrow, we as the Summer Carillonneurs will also be boosting calls for donations for a phenomenal local registered nonprofit, Music Haven .* Music Haven provides tuition-free music lessons to 100 children in the New Haven school system, along with one-on-one mentorship, instruments, music books, academic tutoring, field trips, healthy snacks and more for a holistic experience of support?and thus *"giving all kids a chance to play"*. *89% of Music Haven students are from low-income families, and Music Haven provides their students with access to the world of music that otherwise would be much more difficult to attain.* And so, *in celebration of the close of the season tomorrow?but ONLY IF and ONLY to the extent that you are willing and able to do so!?**we will be asking members of the audience and our wider Summer Carillon community: **if the series has brought some small joy to your summer, please consider making a voluntary donation of any size to Music Haven, to keep spreading the joy of music to others. *We ask that you *please specifically identify this donation as arising from your Summer Carillon Series experience?just add a note/comment saying "Carillon", so we can keep track of how much we have raised.* *EVERY little bit counts, no matter how big or small! *If we all do what we can, it will add up in a big way, and as a community we will really make a whole world of difference for the kids. *We intend to work together with Music Haven where possible to use these funds to support the brand-new introduction of some carillon-related projects and programs within their organization, guided by how much we are able to raise through this effort. *We hope that, together, our Summer Series community's support will lead to the building of something wonderful and new that will carry our shared spirit through the rest of the year, and keep moving New Haven's love of the carillon to ever greater heights. *Our wonderful friends at Music Haven will be present in the courtyard tomorrow to help collect cash, change and checks (we will have donation envelopes available), and to answer any questions you may have. We will also have guides to Music Haven's site to make credit card donations?if you'd like to make a credit card donation already, or to mail a check, you can do so here (again, please just add a "Comment" that it is related to the Summer Series).* In-kind donations (such as of second-hand instruments) are also able to be discussed with Music Haven directly. *Applicable donations would be tax-deductible on the basis of going to a registered 501(3)(c) organization, although it would be for the donor to ensure that the donation meets any applicable legal requirements.* Again, we know that everyone knows their own unique circumstances best, and so any such donations would be FULLY voluntary?the concert series remains free and open to all, and you do NOT have to pay to continue enjoying our concerts. (You can see why our spirit resonates so strongly with Music Haven's!) More information, from Music Haven's "About" page : "At the heart of our model is the relationship between teacher and student, > and the relationships between the young musicians themselves. Our students > develop resilience and self-confidence, and gain a collective set of > invaluable life experiences ? all in the service of learning to create > something beautiful together.

And here's a wonderful pic of the students from their page! [image: Music Haven.jpg] And that's it! *So, for the last time this year: See you all soon!* Warmest regards, *Reshard L.
