Annie Wang, Student Carillonneur:
Annie Wang is a rising fourth-year chemistry major at the University of Chicago. She learned about the carillon on a random tour of Rockefeller Chapel during her first week on campus and luckily joined the UChicago Guild of Carillonists a few weeks later! She passed her carillonneur exam at the 2023 Congress at Cohasset and is very excited to perform at her first concerts this summer. Outside of her love of tower bells, she does research on craniofacial biology and enjoys trying new desserts, drawing, and painting.

One day, Kevin hopes to buy a carillon for his backyard.
