" To share the beauty of the carillon. To give the gift of music " F. DellaPenna
The carillon is played by a silent and masked “spirit of the bells” that appears only to breathe life into the instrument for the performance.
The “spirit” and creator of Cast in Bronze, Frank Della Penna, began his studies in Valley Forge, PA, and is a graduate of the French Carillon School in Tourcoing, France.
Cast in Bronze has been invited to perform for both Pope John Paul II and the Presidential Inauguration, and has performed at Walt Disney World’s Epcot in Orlando, Florida 1998 – 2003 for the Christmas season.
The music of Cast in Bronze has also been heard on radio, at music and Renaissance Festivals, on television including a special Christmas Eve performance on the NBC “Today” Show, and at Alice Cooper’s 2004 “Christmas Pudding” benefit concert.
The carillons of Cast in Bronze consists of 35 bells each with a total weight of four tons each.
