Imagine that you play a musical instrument so rare that no one knows it exists. Imagine further that this instrument weighs several tons making it next to impossible to perform indoors. To complicate matters, imagine that you have combined this unknown, very large instrument with other musical instruments thereby creating a completely new sound and musical style never before experienced.
Cast in Bronze was created to bring the haunting beauty of the CARILLON to more listeners by demonstrating its versatility with other instruments.
The carillon is played by a silent and masked "spirit of the bells" that appears only to breathe life into the instrument for the performance. The "spirit" and creator of Cast in Bronze, Frank Della Penna, is a graduate of the French Carillon School of Tourcoing, France.
Cast in Bronze has been invited to perform for both Pope John Paul II and the Presidential Inauguration, and has performed at Walt Disney Worlds Epcot in Orlando, Florida 1998 - 2002 for the Christmas season.

I love his music! I've seen him every year at the Rennaisance Festival in Denver but only last year did I buy a CD!
