Free Carillon Concerts at Elliott Tower on the Oakland University Campus
Donated by longtime Oakland University supporters Hugh and Nancy Elliott, the Elliott Tower is designed to be a rallying point for student activities. Complete with a water fountain, garden and decorative landscaping, it creates a stunning visual centerpiece for Oakland’s campus. The structure has become the 14th carillon tower in Michigan. OU is the fourth Michigan university to have a carillon. Its 49 bells and keyboards were cast and built by the Royal Bellfoundry Petit & Fritsen of the Netherlands and The Verdin Company of Cincinnati did the design and installation.
