Music Returns to the National Capital 

Music is returning to the National Carillon with regular performances on Sundays. 

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 series will kick off this Sunday with a selection of well-known songs on the themes of Christmas, peace and Australia, including Jingle Bells, Scarborough Fair and I and Australian. 

Date Sunday 15 December 2024 
Time 11:00am to 12:00pm 
Location Queen Elizabeth II Island 

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. Information on the Summer Sunday Sessions Series will be available each Tuesday at www.nca.gov.au
