The NCA is ringing the bells for a big Christmas Eve concert at the Carilion.

Some of you will be assembling complicated toys, I will be showing Notorious BOG all the new bars that have opened since in Canberra in the many years since he departed for Japan. But if you’re after something in between then this could be for you.

    “The free concert will feature five individual carillonists performing a range of popular Christmas songs from 6pm to 8pm on 24 December.

    George Howe will lead the concert, followed by performances from fellow carillonists Astrid Bowler, Kerryn Milligan, Susan Antcliff and Joan Chia.

    Senior Carillonist, Lyn Fuller said the Christmas Eve performance will be a wonderful celebration of Christmas.

    ‘Everyone is invited to bring along a rug and some refreshments to enjoy this special concert at the National Carillon in the beautiful surrounds of Aspen Island, Kings Park.

    ‘This is the eighth year the concert has been held. Each year we see a number of families that have made the annual event a tradition.

    ‘The event attracted up to 400 people in 2007, and we’re expecting an even larger crowd this year,’ said Ms Fuller.”
