Bok Sanctuary

Historic Bok Sanctuary offers lush landscapes of the Olmsted gardens, the majesty and music of the Singing Tower with its 60-bell carillon and the splendor of Pinewood Estate.  http://www.boksanctuary.org/

 

The 205-foot Gothic and art deco Carillon Tower is an experience like no other.

The Tower houses one of the world’s finest carillons. Concerts

from the 60-bell carillon fill the Sanctuary daily.

 

 

 

 

The 205-foot Gothic and art deco Carillon Tower houses one of the world’s finest carillons. Concerts from the 60-bell carillon fill the Sanctuary daily.

 

The carillon at Historic Bok Sanctuary consists of 60 bells ranging in weight from 16 pounds to nearly 12 tons.  Its keyboard, sometimes called a clavier, is made of long, thin batons, which are depressed with one’s closed fist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The acres of ferns, palms, oaks and pines create a year-round backdrop of 1,000 shades of green

for the seasonal bursts of azaleas, camellias and magnolia blooms that form an ever-changing work of art.
