As the bells are struck, their tones are contoured by the environment around them, allowing a unique sense-reading of place to occur, one that is auditory and expands beyond the limited horizon of vision, opening opportunities for new ways of knowing place.
Lawrence English

Join us across two nights for a sounding of bells that commences with the ringing of a newly forged bell by master bell maker, Anton Hasell followed by a chorus of handbell musicians playing on the steps of AGSA and the surrounding city churches and Adelaide Town Hall bell towers ringing.

Locations

Adelaide City Town Hall
Scots Church
St. Peters Cathedral
