Carillon Concert Sunday

If you are free at noon on Sunday, consider enjoying one of Plainfield's most interesting resources, the Pittis Carillon at Grace Episcopal Church. It is one of only four carillons in New Jersey and on Sunday, carilloneur Wesley Arai will perform on it.

Click here for details on the event and here for more information on the carillon.

Living right across the street for the past 17 years, I have enjoyed the beautiful sounds of the carillon and more recently the diverse repertoire of church carilloneur Jeff Spelman, which includes not only traditional hymns but also music of significance to the Plainfield community, such as "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing."

Park in Municipal Lot 7 and bring a chair. The bells are best heard from Cleveland Avenue, off East Seventh Street.
