Guest artist Dr. Andrea McCrady is Dominion Carillonneur of the House of Commons in Ottawa, Canada, and leading proponent of music by Canadian women. Join us rain or shine on Monday, July 31 at 7 PM for her concert on the 53-bell Charles Baird Carillon in Burton Memorial Tower, the finale of our “2023: A Century of Women and the Carillon” concert series. Our summer concerts are free and family-friendly, so bring a picnic to Ingalls Mall! For the best acoustics, listen at a distance from the belfry (e.g. closer to the Michigan League than the tower).
An accessible, gender-inclusive restroom is located on floor 3, Room 343 of the Michigan League, entry from N University Ave. The Provost’s Office maintains a list of lactation rooms and reflection rooms; to access the reflection room, speak to our staff (wearing nametags). The nearest municipal parking structures are at 324 Maynard and at 510 E Washington. Street parking is limited due to nearby construction.
