World Carillon Congress 2021
As announced, an online WCF congress will be held in June 2021, together with the GCNA congress, hosted by Trinity College and colleague Ellen Dickinson. Although the times are bizarre, we hope it will be a place to feel connected!
Never before so many carillons and so many carillonists appeared during a congress. It will give a unique view on the carillon world. You will hear at least 62 carillonists and at least 56 different carillons!
All events can be followed via one Zoomlink, but you can also watch it afterwards. Registration is free, but required in order to be able to participate:https://www.gcna.org/2021-Congress
We will meet during the opening on Tuesday 1 June!
