Dave Dorrell, Director GA Renaissance Festival
“Cast in Bronze brought a unique element to our Festival and drew large crowds at every one of their performances. Carillonneur Charlie St. Cyr-Paul is an accomplished musician and showman. His rapport with the audience elevates what is already a unique and wonderful experience to an even higher level. Cast in Bronze is a winning performance for any event!”
Andrew Meade, Entertainment Director Suncoast & Brevard Renaissance Festivals
Charlie is a consummate professional and wonderful team player. Any event would be made the better for his participation.
Paul Ashe, Director National Bell Festival
"Cast in Bronze was wonderful to work with and a brilliant addition to our National Bell Festival. Who wouldn't love rocking and ringing on bells! From the initial planning stages through the performance, Carillonneur Charlie St. Cyr-Paul brought amazing creativity and energy. I can't wait to welcome Cast in Bronze back for a future event!"
Scott Innis, Orlando Theme Park Event Producer
Cast In Bronze is one of the most unique and memorable musical and entertainment experiences I’ve ever seen. I love that it’s both “old world” and modern simultaneously. Truly nothing like it anywhere.

I saw Frank and the bells at Georgia Ren Faire years ago and fell in love with the carillon. Heard Charlie's show this weekend at Georgia and was blown away! Great performance and presentation. If you see Cast in Bronze coming anywhere near you, take the time to go see the show. Charlie is wonderful and does not disappoint!

“Hi Charlie! THANK YOU so much for letting me play the carillon at the GA Ren Faire last Saturday. That is one bucket list item I never thought I would be able to check off, so thank you again. It was a thrill and I am still giddy about it.
Charlie plays the bells very well. Love listening to him play.”

It’s been a decade since I’ve seen Cast in Bronze anywhere. We weren’t planning to go to the Georgia Renaissance Festival this year until I received an email announcing that you would would be there.
I’m elated to’ve heard Cast in Bronze again live. It always makes me cry (tho admittedly not usually quite so much as this weekend did). While still enchanting, it’s just not the same listening to the recordings.
I fervently hope to see you again in the future for many years to come.
Thank you very much and I wish you all the best..Gregory TaylorThree generations and they all loved the music of Cast in Bronze! Charlie St. Cyr-Paul is an awesome Carillonneur! It was great meeting you and hope you come back to Georgia next year!

"Charlie has done a masterful job of taking on Frank DellaPenna's mantle, at once learning the carillon while enhancing the traditional Cast in Bronze show with his unique and dynamic personality - and with percussion, too!
I look forward to seeing more of his shows in the future."
Frank DellaPenna,
CEO, North American Carillon School
Master-Carillonneur graduate of the French Carillon School
Pioneer/Creator of Cast In Bronze (est. 1991).
"I met Charlie over 20 years ago when I was looking for a drummer for my act at Disney World's Epcot. He exceeded my expectations, was hired and we enjoyed working with each other. He subsequently became my drummer on all of my recordings.
It was always my hope that someone would want to continue the mission of "Cast in Bronze" for the next generation of listeners. I never imagined that his love of percussion instruments would lead him to the carillon, the largest and most obscure of all musical instruments.
Now, in the twilight of my life, I can say that I have found the person to continue the mission. He brings a new life and energy to the show that I always imagined."
