Deeds Carillon Concerts
Deeds Carillon Concerts
Typically held on Sundays and during Carillon Historical Park’s main events, Deeds Carillon concerts are performed by Carillonneur Alan Bowman. At 151-feet, with 57 bells, the limestone Deeds Carillon — the Park’s namesake — is Ohio’s largest carillon.
In 1939, Edith Walton Deeds, an accomplished musician and wife of National Cash Register Chairman Col. Edward A. Deeds, traveled to Bruges, Belgium, where she fell in love with the toll of carillon bells. She dreamed of sharing their sound with Dayton.
From 1940 to 1942, Edith oversaw the construction of Deeds Carillon, a 151.5-foot limestone tower that originally housed 32 bells. Designed by New York architects Reinhard & Hofmeister — the firm behind Rockefeller Center — the carillon was dedicated on August 23, 1942.
