Carillon Lesson

What

Every Wednesday from 12.30 to 13.00 the carillon of the Erasmus University is played. You've probably heard the music on the bells and looked up where the carillonneur in the glass cabin on the bridge makes the bells sound. Have you become curious and would you like to try that? Then you are welcome at the workshop 'Erasmus Carillon.' Watch the video below to get an idea of how much fun it is.
