Have you ever seen a carillon? Better yet, have you ever heard one played? There are more than 150 carillons across the United States, and one of them may well be in your community. David Maker is a retired University of Connecticut music professor who became smitten with carillons many years ago when he learned there was one on the UConn campus. He has become an expert about carillons, and has played many of them all over the world. Suzanne (a UConn music department grad) interviewed her former Orchestration Professor about his passion for carillons.
