Project Summary

The National Capital Authority has been working with both local and international carillon experts to custom design, fabricate, assemble and test upgraded instrument components.

The works will help ensure the National Carillon continues to function as a world-class instrument. 

In the meantime, on occasion you might hear local carillonists practicing on the instrument.  

 

Further information regarding the National Carillon is available on the National Carillon Attractions page.
