Dennis Curry recently retired as Kirk in the Hills’ Carillonneur after 33 years and continues as Oakland University’s first Carillonneur since 2015. Dennis was honored to be consultant and dedicatory recitalist for the new Elliott Carillon Tower at OU where he performs recitals every Friday at noon. His carillon studies began with Dr. Frederick Marriott, and he advanced to Carillonneur member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA) in 1989. A past President of the GCNA for 6 years, Dennis has also served on the Board of Directors for over 10 years and as juror on the Guild’s Student Examination Committee. He is a retired member of the Executive Committee of the World Carillon Federation, having served as Treasurer, Secretary, and Vice-President.
The carillon can be heard from the grounds around the tower including the Case Western Reserve Campus behind the tower away from the Euclid Avenue traffic noise. Concerts are rain or shine and your car is also a place to hear the concert. Horn honking is an accepted form of applause at the end of the program.
