Meet the Musicians Who Give Voice to the Chapel's Carillon


Copied URL to clipboard

Each weekday at 5:00 p.m. the bells of Duke Chapel’s carillon ring out across campus with tunes from hymns, classical works, or popular songs. The instrument is both very prominent and also shrouded in a kind of mystery that hides the musician and mechanics that produce its sound. In the latest episode of our Sounds of Faith podcast, we get to peek into this towering instrument and meet the musicians who give it voice—Mitchell Eithun, a second-year student at Duke Divinity School, and Aaron Colston, a postdoctoral associate who teaches in Duke’s History and Education departments.
