Program Details
The program unfolds through eight themed chapters, from Night Falls and Undead Rising to Back to Life and Last Dance, accompanied by projected visuals that transform Beaumont Tower into a striking canvas of light and animation. Audiences will encounter haunting and familiar melodies from works such as The Bells of Notre Dame, Mozart’s Lacrimosa, Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre, and selections from Pan’s Labyrinth and Howl’s Moving Castle, as well as the whimsical Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Original carillon works and other unexpected musical discoveries fill the bells of Beaumont Tower’s 49-bell carillon with sounds that are mysterious, imaginative, eerie, and fun, while large-scale projections created by students and professionals in animation and special effects bring each chapter to life
