Liam Flood










A native of Chicago living far from home in Washington, D.C., Liam Flood is a student at the North American Carillon School. His performance instructor is Lisa Lonie, and he also receives informal instruction from fellow D.C. resident Hunter Chase. He studied chemical engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; more importantly, he joined a small club that rang a 15-bell chime on campus. He taught himself to read and play music for the small instrument and later taught others to do the same. Following his graduation in 2020, he enrolled at the carillon school. By day, he works as a data scientist.
