Trinity College, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, is kicking off more than a year of O200 celebrations and exploration with a series of carillon concerts. These concerts will be a key part of the bicentennial celebration in 2022 as Olmsted 200 debuts the winners of the Carillon Composition Competition, Inspired by Olmsted.  

The Summer Carillon Concert Series is the start of Trinity College’s celebration of the anniversary of the 200th birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted and participation in Olmsted 200.

We are pleased to offer four outdoor carillon concerts this summer. Due to the pandemic, the chamber series is on hold for another year. We look forward to offering our full Summer Music Series in 2022. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you in July!

All concerts will take place on the Main Quad. Parking is available in any campus space.

Visitors to campus are no longer required to wear masks outside. When visiting our indoor public restrooms, a mask is required. We encourage social distancing between groups picnicking on the Quad.

The Carillon Recital Series has been a Hartford tradition since 1949, featuring national and international guest artists. The audience is invited to enjoy the music of the 49-bell Plumb Memorial Carillon, one of approximately 200 such instruments in North America.

The 2020 series was presented virtually. Click here to watch last year’s recitals.
