The Summer Sunday Sessions Series will showcase the range and repertoire of the National Carillon through classical and contemporary favourites, as well as music written expressly for the carillon. 

The series will also provide opportunities for carillonists to continue to test new instrumentation installed earlier this year as part of the refurbishment of the carillon.

The best spots to enjoy the music will be Queen Elizabeth II Island or vantage spots such as Kings Park and the amphitheatre outside the National Gallery of Australia.
