GVSU is one of only a few dozen US Universities with an active carillon performance tradition and one of only 3 institutions in the entire Western Hemisphere with multiple carillon towers.

Each week the university carillonist rings out music on the bells of Cook and Beckering Towers, from Bach to Beatles to BTS and everything in between. If you’re on one of GVSU’s campuses and hear music on bells coming from a nearby tower, someone is probably up there performing it for you live.
