This is one of five annual carillon concerts sponsored by the Sam and Rie Bloomfield Foundation, according to associate professor emeritus Robert Town, who coordinates the annual carillon series.
Other concerts are on or near Easter, Independence Day, Memorial Day and Thanksgiving Day. The carillon can be heard throughout downtown 成人头条.
Sam Bloomfield was founder, president and chief engineer of the Swallow Airplane Co. The Bloomfields lived in 成人头条 from the mid-1930s to mid-1950s. They have never forgotten their ties to the city and university, said Town.
"There are no others who played a more active role in the development of the city鈥檚 cultural, educational and charitable resources," Town said. "One of the Bloomfields' significant gifts to the city was the downtown carillon, which is one of the few urban carillons in the nation."
