Inviting New Mahanay Maestros to Play the Historic Mahanay Memorial Carillon
Jefferson, IA – Do you have at least two years of piano experience and a love for music? The Mahanay Memorial Carillon is looking for more musicians to join our team of Mahanay Maestros! This is a unique opportunity to share your musical talents by playing the beautiful 47-bell carillon in downtown Jefferson.
Each summer, the Mahanay Maestros perform Tower Tunes Live concerts on Wednesdays for a 15-minute session, filling the town with music that the public loves to hear – recognizable tunes, religious music, and patriotic songs. Musicians select their own music, and training will be provided.
Tower Tunes Live concerts are held from Memorial Day to Labor Day on Wednesdays from 12:15 – 12:30 pm. Maestros select the day(s) they can play. To participate, nominees must complete the nomination form and be approved. The carillon keyboard is up one flight of stairs in the Mahanay Tower. There is no monetary compensation, but your contributions will be deeply appreciated by the community.
If you or someone you know is interested, complete the nomination form online at mahanaybelltower.org. Simply go to Join Our Team and click Become a Maestro to access the form. Here is the direct link: https://mahanaybelltower.org/about/volunteer/

Come be part of a cherished local tradition and make the bells ring out for all to enjoy!
