J. Samuel Hammond Carillon Recital

A graphic with an image on the left and text on the right. The image shows a close-up, eye-level shot of the large bells inside a church tower. Sunlight is streaming through the arched windows behind the bells. The text on the right side of the image reads: "J. Samuel Hammond Carillon Recital" and "Duke University Chapel." Below the text is the Duke University Chapel logo.

The J. Samuel Hammond Carillon Recitals are performed on the Chapel's 50-bell carillon, and may be enjoyed al fresco from the beauty of Abele Quad. This recital will be presented rain or shine.

Parking is available on a first-come-first-served basis in the Bryan Center garage at 125 Science Drive. ADA parking is available in the Bryan Center Surface Lot at the same address.

Duke Chapel's fifty-bell carillon is among the oldest and largest such instruments in the American South. Both the instrument and the recital series are named in honor of the late J. Samuel Hammond (1947-2021), University Carillonneur Emeritus, who played Duke's carillon from 1964 until his retirement in 2018.
