Mary Mesquita Dahlmer (born Mary Perry Mesquita; 12 October 1897 – 14 October 1993) was an American carillonneur, the first to be employed as one in the United States, and the first woman carillonneur in North America.
When he was unavailable to play for a wedding on July 30, Dahlmer was asked based on her abilities as a pianist to fill in for him.
[2][3] She was subsequently appointed carillonneur, and studied with Anton Brees and Kamiel Lefévere.
She was often asked to demonstrate the carillon for visitors, and in the process performed for John D. Rockefeller Jr., Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Mrs. Hugh Bancroft.
[4] In 1987, Dahlmer was elected an honorary member of The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America.
