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).
Ithaca winters may be brutal, but they come with a silver lining! During the construction pause, the tower will temporarily open for a special treat—live concerts. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the chimesmasters in action. Concerts will run through March 16 (the last open-to-the-public concert will be March 16). Please visit the library space projects website for information on the construction project.
Please note that during university breaks including summer, few concerts will be played.
