The Art of Playing Carillon
The course offers a musical introduction and training into the field of Dutch Carillon Music. The Low Countries (former Northern part of France, Belgium and the Netherlands) are famous when it comes to different kinds of Churchmusic. Even today, in a secular society, churches are in the center of musical life in the Netherlands. In this course we will give you a practical and historical inside view into the world of playing carillon in the city of Utrecht and the near surroundings.
The Lieve Vrouwe church in Amersfoort and the Utrecht Dom church will be the center of our attention this week. The carillon of these churches are famous in the Netherlands. Teachers and students of HKU Utrecht Conservatory will guide you during workshops and tours on several instruments in and around these cities.
