Concert details
Alongside our Canberra-based carillonists, we also have carillonists performing from Sydney and Bathurst.
Pack snacks, a picnic blanket or chairs and enjoy the music from the Queen Elizabeth II Island or its surrounds.
The best place to listen is on the island, but on a day with good weather, the bells can even be heard over at the sculpture garden at the National Gallery of Australia.
Check out what you can hear on the day!
