The last thing we did Saturday afternoon before leaving the faire for the day was to catch the end of a performance by Cast In Bronze. Frank DellaPenna, known as the Spirit of the Bells, plays the only travelling carillon in America. It is made of 35 cast bronze bells, and is played similar to the way you would play a piano. Carillons are traditionally played from a "lofty bell tower" and therefore the carillonneur was never seen. Spirit of the Bells continues this tradition of secrecy by wearing a mask. The music is beautiful.
DD2 loved the music, and got up to start dancing.
In this one, you can see the carillon pretty well, although Spirit of the Bells is hard to make out. He's sitting to the left.
We bought a DVD and a CD to enjoy at home. Spirit of the Bells autographed the DVD for DS1.
Will you sign this?
Of course I will, Sweetie.
Can I have a hug first?
And she got the autograph too.

absolutely fabulous pics again girl! Your dd is much more brave than tink, she won't even go near her brothers if they are wearing any sort of mask! :) looks like all y'all had a great time!
Your dd is even more brave than me! There is no way I'd even go within 5 feet of someone dressed up like that!
Nice pics! I especially like the portrait of your daughter in the last post.
