Hotline Bling Performed On A Carillon
The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon is the single largest musical instrument ever built. And the University Carillonneur takes requests!
In 1932, John D. Rockefeller gifted a 72-bell, 100-ton bronze carillon to the University of Chicago. In 2015, the University Carillonneur performed Drake's Hotline Bling at lunchtime on a Friday. To reach the carillon, we climbed 271 steps to the top of the tower. In the immortal words of Drizzy, "Started from the bottom, now we here."
