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.

“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!

This experience BLEW ME AWAY!  WOW!!! So melodic, beautiful & captivating.

This was the Best thing I have ever seen/heard at Disney Springs!!!

Hope they have you back next year as well. 

Was great to hear the bells.

Why aren’t you famous or in vegas?

We saw this show last night ! It was remarkable! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

You were absolutely fantastic the other night when I just strolled upon your performance! I was pleasantly surprised to see such enjoyable entertainment at Disney Springs.

Total rock star!!! Amazing show.

We had so much fun seeing you this year and will try to make it to Brevard next month! Thank you for sharing your talent and kindness with us!

Charlie, it was so awesomely incredible seeing you play there!

Charlie is always incredible to watch perform! He’s a great person too!

You should be at least the admission fee of cirque.

Magnificent!!

My family loved seeing this show at 

Disney springs this year!  We came back and saw it multiple times in the same night.  It was such a unique experience we’re sure to talk about for a long time.  Can’t wait to see him again next year, hopefully in a larger spot.

They would be absolutely foolish not to have you there every year.

Loved this show … like nothing I have ever seen before.

You Are Awesome!!

We traveled to Disney Springs just to see this show..  And wow!!!

Love your music.

Thank you for taking your time to talk with my kids… they learned so much!!!

Thank you for continuing with the Cast in Bronze legacy at Disney Springs!!

I was there in Epcot when you guys debuted, I still talk about the fantastic sounds you guys made and the perfect location...!  Disney did right by bringing you back!!!

This felt like a magical holiday this year thanks to you.

You deserve a special place in EPCOT!!

Great job Charlie ! Always a great show.

Yea he is so talented.

I’m so glad The Mouse hired you!!

I have never seen my all my kids enjoy the same music.  THANK YOU!!!

Finally, something truly unique at Disney Springs.

On my way to Disney Springs now. Are you playing weeknights? (In the rain, that just started?)..you always do 🙂

…if you guys get a chance you should go see this. He is amazing!

That’s so cool !!!

Thanks for taking time to listen to my kids and for the photos.

Charlie.  My family & I saw Cast In Bronze last night at Disney Springs.  We had never seen anything like this before and we loved it!  What an amazing  instrument.  Thank you for introducing us to the beautiful music of the carillon.  We can’t wait to see you play again!

I was at Disney Springs this evening and had the wonderful surprise of seeing Cast In Bronze perform! It is North America's only traveling carillon.

The last time I saw this it was at EPCOT around the time of the Millennium Celebration. The carillon was placed on a stage at the Christmas tree when they would light that and the (very much missed) Lights of Winter.

They have more performances at Disney Springs until the end of December in case you have the opportunity to visit. In the meantime, please enjoy this video!

Oh how we loved hearing those beautiful bells

Was one of my highlights of my holiday season

Had so much fun loved hearing you play the bells

What a beautiful time.

Thanks for the CD..that was special.

You were amazing tonight as always! Just love watching & listening to you perform!

Ahh … My parents used to bring me here before it changed names. I thought it all looked and seemed familiar. Wonderful memories for me with my mom and dad who had retired in Florida.

…he’s pretty awesome!

Truly a unique show to the senses.  Something that no one else is doing - a traveling carillon.

This was pure magic.

Beautiful!

your talent is rare and very unusual in the world of Music we need something different God bless you and keep you safe as you share your talent with the world

One of the highlights this Thanksgiving!

You do great Charlie.

We love to listen to you play.

We are so grateful for you!

This Show was visually and musically stunning.  Charlie shows his professionalism as an experienced musician for his fans and audience at Disney Springs.

It was great meeting you over thanksgiving weekend! I showed some of the videos I took to some of my 7th grade percussion ensemble students last weekend and they were in awe.

Great music, well worth checking Charlie out at #disneysprings 

Thank you for bringing this amazing show to Disney!!!

Seeing Charlie play the Bells made my Christmas.  I loved watching such a talented man.  He not only played the bells, he played drums and sang.  I look forward to him being back at Disney Springs.

Would you travel to play for the king in Dubai?

My friend and my mother enjoyed your shows, as did I. I was playing music from your CD before we came out for my mother.

Hope to get back up to Disney Springs before you leave. Thanks again for the WONDERFUL music!

I was there on Saturday, Your show is amazing

Heya! it's Matt the random dude who ate your break on Thanksgiving night.. Seriously though... I stand by you're insane. so was Van Gough. You are a creative genius. 

I really liked your Christmas show with the mix of drums and bells, cool rhythm stuff and you really feel the “oomph” of the sound throughout the show.

Thanks for the free bells…. What a great memory.

Bless you! Lookin’ really good there! The people are in for a thrill.

Magnificent!!!

I have never seen anything like this!!!

Will you play for us in Paris?

Just loving everything about your show! 

So festive!

That is just SO COOL

Awesome awesome brother

We were the ones dancing.. Thanks for the CD we play it all the time.

"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."
