Music lovers of all ages are invited to the annual Summer Carillon Concerts at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Concerts are held at 7 p.m. CDT every Tuesday in June as part of the 2024-25 Concordia Seminary Music Series. For those who cannot attend in person, the concerts also will be broadcast live on KFUO Radio. All concerts are free and open to the public.

The carillon’s 49 bells have been played atop Luther Tower since 1971 and are dedicated to all pastors who have served The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). The instrument is housed in the 156-foot Luther Tower, designed by architect Charles Klauder and dedicated in 1970.

“Concordia Seminary’s carillon series each June is a gift to our neighbors and to the wider Lutheran community in St. Louis,” said Dean of Chapel Dr. Jon Vieker. “Our magnificent carillon is one of only 175 such instruments in North America, and it is a blessing to welcome world-class artists who make it sing!”

• Tuesday, June 10: featuring Toni Raats of Roosendaal, the Netherlands
