UCSB Faculty Carillon Recital: Wesley Arai

UCSB University Carillonist Wesley Arai will present a recital from the carillon in UCSB’s Storke Tower on Sunday, November 11, 2018 from 11 am-12 pm. Listeners are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair to sit on the grass outside the tower during the recital. This special event will commemorate Veteran’s Day and Armistice Day, and will be part of a worldwide celebration where bells will be rung to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. Mr. Arai will perform a piece by Geert D’hollander written specifically for the occasion, which carillonneurs around the world will be playing for the first time on the same day. The recital will also include patriotic music and songs promoting peace.
