Live Music Returns to the Norwood Town Common!

Unfortunately, the Tilton Memorial Carillon is currently under repair so there will be no Carillon Concert on the Common series this summer.
This year’s Carillon Series would have been dedicated to Bernard S. Cooper, former Norwood Assistant General Manager who sadly passed away last year. Cooper was a familiar face at virtually every Norwood event and worked hard behind the scenes so others could enjoy and experience Town celebrations. He was devoted to the Carillon Music Program and without his support Norwood residents would likely never have the privilege to learn the carillon history or listen to the unique sounds of this Norwood gem.
