Florida Carillon Festival
Begins Thursday, December 16 at 4pm
|
|
The Florida Carillon Festival returns to Venice December 16th with a recital celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, and the Winter Solstice by carillonneur Elisa Tersigni of Toronto, Canada.
Ms. Tersigni began studying carillon seven years ago, when a friend introduced her to the instrument. She became a Carillonneur member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America in 2020 and is currently studying with Eddy Mariën at the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium. She has performed on carillons in Belgium, Canada, Japan, the UK, and the US. When she’s not playing carillon, Elisa is a researcher of rare books and currently holds a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto.
The Andrew W. Crawford Memorial carillon was dedicated on May 5, 2019 and is a 7-ton, 48-bell cast bronze musical instrument with a history that goes back 500 years to Flanders. Performances on the Venice carillon are generously co-sponsored by the Venice Institute for Performing Arts.
The Florida Carillon Festival is sponsored by the Venice Carillon Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, which invites performers from around the world to play the four carillons in Florida. Photo credits: Wylie Crawford.
Upcoming Recitals (all at 4pm)
Dec. 16- Celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, and the Winter Solstice
January 13- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day recital
February 10- Valentine’s Day recital
March 10- St. Patrick’s Day recital
Attendance is free and open to all at the entrance of the Venice Performing Arts Center. The recital will take place, rain or shine. Bring your own chair for up-close seating or listen from the comfort of your car in the adjoining parking lot.

Healing Full Moon Sound Meditation
December 18 at 6pm
This is our last full moon before the new year. What would you like to let go of before you head into 2022? Full Moon energy is a time we can release and reset. This session will begin with a short ceremony to let go of those things that will not serve you in 2022. Then we will move into the clearing and cleansing with Healing Sound meditation of Quartz, Tibetan bowls, and chimes. It will be effortless to let go and soak in the good vibes of over 30 different sound bath instruments as they transport you into a deeply meditative state of relaxation.
