About the Guild
The Guild is the student organization responsible for ringing the bells in Harkness Tower. It is a self-perpetuating group: each fall, the current members give lessons to freshmen and sophomores (and sometimes graduate students) on the practice carillon, and, after auditions, elect new members to the Guild.
The Guild was founded in 1949 by Elliot H. Kone BR '49 as the Guild of Yale Bellringers. It was renamed in 1964, two years before the donation of 44 additional bells expanded the original chime to a 54-bell carillon.
We currently have 21 full-time members, and a few adjunct members. Each Guild member has their own ring spot (see above!). Our teacher is Ellen Dickinson, who is a Yale and Guild alum; she comes in a few times a week to give us lessons to help us continue playing beautiful music for all of campus!
Besides ringing bells for Yale's campus, the Guild does two yearly tours. The smaller tour is Mini-Tour, and past Mini-Tours have taken the Guild to Pennsylvania and Boston. The larger tour alternates between a European Tour and a Domestic Tour.
We also play handbells. For more information, click here!
During the summer, the Guild also hosts a summer series that invites carillonneurs from around the world to come play a weekly concert. In general, the Guild simply loves spending time together, so there are lots of snacks, dinners, movies, hanging out, and lots of general fun is involved!

Zoe Pian |
Timothy Dwight 2025 |
Heeler Monster | MB&B |
Zoe is a pianist from the small town of New York City. When she isn't holed up in her bedroom, she can be found touching grass on science hill and making a futile but considerable effort to establish an interspecies friendship with New Haven birds.

Peter Zhang |
Berkeley 2025 |
EP&E |
Peter is from the frozen land of Vancouver, Canada. When not training to climb spiral staircases, he is probably shovelling peanut M&Ms into his mouth in a upper-floor, window-facing, Bass cubicle.

Jiayi Liao |

Tour Manager & Librarian |
Jiayi (Joyce) is from Beijing, China. On a sunny afternoon, you can find her chilling outside the Beinecke, taking a walk in the cemetery, or climbing (spiral) stairs. She loves museums, books, and (good) food!

Isaiah Suchman |
Morse 2025 |
Linguistics |
If it's after midnight, Isaiah is probably trying to find the Tower light switch so he can get in an "early evening" practice. Otherwise, he might be hiking, fiddling with the fonts on his computer, satiating his Wikipedia addiction, or spelunking in the deepest recesses of the Humanities Quadrangle.

Daniel Pak |

Lea Kim |
Hopper 2024 |
Social Chair, Newsletter Editor | Chemistry and Music |

Zacharie Sciamma |
Davenport 2023 |

Likes: hot pot, languages, Grey's Anatomy, Broadway and French musicals, her cat, art galleries, taking low quality photos of high quality people. Dislikes: keeping any plant alive for more than a semester, Yale Dining's feeble attempts at Asian food. Yilin is from Beijing, China!

Evan Hochstein |
Morse 2023 |
Linguistics |
Evan is from Austin, Texas and can't stop learning languages (Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese...). Once upon a time he took hieroglyphic Egyptian. He loves listening to and playing music from around the world, especially when he can actually understand the lyrics. When the aliens come, he doesn't know if he will be able decipher their language like Amy Adams in Arrival, but he will certainly play the bells for them.

Alvin Chung |
Silliman 2022 |
Economics |
Alvin is a freshman from Potomac, Maryland. He is a percussionist in YSO but a Carillonneur at heart. He also practices the piano every then and now. Give him a box of Ferrero Rochers and he will always be with you through thick. The thin will cost you extra. Maybe a chipotle burrito bowl consisting of white rice, steak, tomatoes, sour cream, corn, cheese, lettuce and guacamole?

Tour Manager, Webmaster | Computer Science and Math |
Adam Chen |
Timothy Dwight 2022 |

Janine Tu |
Ezra Stiles 2022 |
Chemistry and Economics |
Janine is from North Carolina and enjoys learning about Organic Chemistry, the Kardashians, and most recently, big bells. When not struggling with spiral staircases, she can be found watching The Bachelor, taking a 12 minute nap, or trying to play big chords on the piano.

Robert Carter |
Hopper 2021 |
Physics |
Robert is from Corpus Christi, Texas (a.k.a The Sparkling City by the Sea). He enjoys watching rousing physics videos on YouTube, among other types of videos. Robert plays the piano and is also a Baroque enthusiast who likes to indulge his ears in the beautiful sounds of the harpsichord and organ. Robert constantly asks himself where he is, not because he is lost geographically, but because he is lost inside.

Michael Gancz |
Murray 2021 |
Social Chair, Recording Engineer, Librarian | Music (MA/BA) |
Michael was taking their trombone out for a stroll when they strayed too far from the new colleges and got lost. Now they're stuck in Harkness Tower and can't get down. Please send help.
