Carillon

Beautiful Carillon, great concerts on some Sundays at 4pm. Just seat in the park and enjoy. Do not miss it! Especially the guided tour afterwards (german and english). Unique and with the best views of Berlin. Jeffrey is a fantastic carilloneur and host! Berlin is lucky to have him!!

I was lucky enough to visit the Carillon when the musician was playing on Ascension Day.

For a paltry 8£, you get to climb the tower and be given a history and explanation of the bells, how they are forged and tuned.

Then you ascend a bit more and are shown the keyboard which is very cool and unusual with an explanation of how they work.

Finally we received the pleasure of two songs which was really impressive to see how the bells are played.

If you are around when he is offering tours, this was the best attraction I've been to in Berlin.

I have passed several times near this place and now I am reading that every Sunday at 15 and on holidays there is concert that I missed. But I will surely come back to Berlin and to Tiergarten and will have chance to hear it one of these days.

Go on a sunday at 16:00 to hear the Carillion playing for one hour. Just relax on grass with a beer

Tall, very beautiful and stylish tower with many bells of different sizes.
I really like organ music when I haму the opportunity to listen to such a concert, and this tower reminds me very much of this type of musical instrument, which can only be heard much further and has its own style of performance.
A small squeeze from Wikipedia:
The Carillon in Berlin Tiergarten park is a tall tower next to the House of World Cultures. It is a large, manually played concert instrument. Someone is siting in a cabin in the middle of the bells and plays with his fists and feet on a baton-and-pedal keyboard. The purely mechanical action makes it possible to play all dynamic gradations, from very soft to very loud sounds. It is one of the largest instruments of its kind in Europe and approximately the fourth largest (by number of bells) in the world.
Music programs include classical works and popular songs.

It was tall enough to get super nice photo but it was located somewhere in the middle of the park close to Brandenburg Tor

A tall tower with many different bells. An interesting, gentle sound. Very nice.
