About Cast in Bronze
Cast in Bronze was created to share the beauty and versatility of the carillon with listeners. Cast in Bronze was created in 1991 by Frank DellaPenna, graduate of the French Carillon School in Tourcoing, France. Cast in Bronze has performed at Walt Disney World’s Epcot from 1998-2003, for the Mass of Pope John Paul II in Central Park, NY in 1995, with Alice Cooper at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix and at numerous music and renaissance festivals throughout the US. The music of Cast in Bronze has been performed on national TV and radio. Cast in Bronze has been invited to perform for both Pope John Paul II and the Presidential Inauguration, and has performed at Walt Disney World’s Epcot in Orlando, Florida 1998 - 2003 for the Christmas season. The music of Cast in Bronze has also been heard on the radio, at music and Renaissance Festivals, and on television—including a special Christmas eve performance on the NBC “Today” show, and at Alice Cooper’s 2004 “Christmas Pudding” benefit concert. The carillons of Cast in Bronze consist of 35 bells, and have a total weight of four tons each. Cast in Bronze is the only musical act of its kind in the world, and features the only two carillons in history supported by listeners. - Great Fun to hear!

This is my 17th year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the eclectic Renaissance Family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive, very colorful and exciting!
Thank you very much for looking. Have a great day! Hazaaa!!
