About the Artists
Junyu Deng is a third-year majoring in Microbiology and Economics, with a minor in Music. Her main instrument is piano but picked up flute, piccolo, and oboe in high school. Currently, Junyu is trying to create more content for her cooking page and train her three rats to do tricks. She knew she wanted to learn the carillon when she first heard it while touring the campus and thought it was super cool! Junyu has studied carillon for one year and this is her first quarter performing on the carillon.
Emily O’Mahony is a fourth-year Computer Engineering major from Concord, California. She seized the opportunity to study carillon because, quite frankly, how cool is it to be able to play in a bell tower? Emily’s other musical endeavors include playing the piano and dabbling with other instruments. Aside from music, she’s a big fan of books, dark chocolate, and kickboxing. This is Emily’s third year studying the carillon.
Julia Ong is a second-year chemistry major in the College of Creative Studies and she is from the San Francisco Bay Area. Her main instrument is piano, which she has been playing for more than ten years and performed for recitals and charity concerts. Julia is studying carillon because she wants to explore instruments besides piano to continue her music studies. She is also interested in the history and repertoire of the carillon because it is a unique combination of bells and a keyboard. Other musical instruments Julia plays include the recorder and the ukulele. She also enjoys tap dancing, reading fantasy fiction, and playing board games. This is Julia’s first-quarter studying the carillon.
