Concert Schedule
Starting on July 3rd, 2023: The tower will be under construction and will be receiving some tender, loving, and care! However, do not worry too much, as the chimes will still be ringing throughout campus (on a modified and limited schedule).
When the tower is not an active construction zone, viewing a concert in person may be possible! Mainly during the winter season and until March 10th, 2024.
Starting March 11th, the tower will be an active construction zone, and it will be closed to the Cornell community and the public. Please visit the library space projects website for information on the construction project. We will plan a re-opening celebration once construction ends and the tower is accessible!
Please note that during university breaks including summer, few concerts will be played.
