Carillon Concerts at Westminster College

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. – The 2022 Carillon Summer Concert Series at Westminster College will welcome four guest carillonneurs to perform on the college’s 42-bell Duff-Armington Memorial Carillon throughout the month of July.

All concerts begin at noon and are free and open to the public. Seating is available on the quad outside of Old Main. Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and lunch to enjoy during the concerts. In the event of inclement weather, seating will be available in Wallace Memorial Chapel.

The series opens today with a performance by Elisa Tersigni, who began playing the carillon only seven years ago while completing her doctoral degree at the University of Toronto. Currently studying with noted carillonneur Eddy Marien at the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium, she has performed in Belgium, the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Japan.

Wade FitzGerald will be the featured carillonneur on Friday, July 15. FitzGerald began studying the carillon in 2016 with Laura Ellis at the University of Florida, where he earned degrees in music and biology.

Polish carillonneur Anna Kasprzycka will perform on Friday, July 22. A carillonneur of the 17th century Parrochialkirche in Berlin, she is noted for performing world premieres of music by contemporary performers.

Andrea McCrady will be the final featured carillonneur on Friday, July 29. Since 2008, McCrady has served as Dominion Carillonneur of the Peace Tower Carillon, which she plays every weekday.

One of only 55 college carillons nationwide, Westminster’s bells — 42 in all — are an integral part of campus life. In addition to ringing the “Westminster Chime” every quarter hour throughout the day, the carillon is regularly played by Paula Kubik, Westminster organist.

Documentary on Ohio and Erie Canal

KENT, Ohio – Over nearly two centuries, the Ohio and Erie Canal evolved from a significant transportation route to an important civic asset. A new documentary, “The Ohio & Erie Canal,”  tells the story of its construction in the early 1800s and its ensuing history.

Produced by Larry Baker of Chagrin Falls, the half-hour production will premiere exclusively on PBS Western Reserve (WNEO 45.1 / WEAO 49.1)  on Tuesday, July 12, at 8 p.m.

Early visionaries understood that development of the city of Akron would require the ability to transport goods from there to Cleveland. Through perseverance and ingenious engineering, the canal route was built and in 1827, the first boat passed through it.

Almost immediately the canal enabled all kinds of industries to flourish using its route. The project greatly contributed to Ohio’s rise to industrial prominence.

The documentary tells of life along and on the canal for people and businesses. It also chronicles its decline, demise and then redevelopment as a natural and recreational resource.
