th Celebrating the 75 Anniversary of the GCNA
Come celebrate …
You are invited to celebrate our great carillon heritage. This joint congress promises be the largest gathering of carillonneurs and enthusiasts on record, and we have cause to celebrate: the 75 th anniversary of the GCNA, 75th anniversary of the Baird carillon, and kicking off the next 500 years of the carillon. Full details continue to be developed, but this congress will be one of the finest and most diverse – from the wealth of instruments, to stimulating and engaging presentations, workshops, and to strengthening our camaraderie.
Updates will be posted on the GCNA and WCF websites, so stay connected. We also have established a Facebook group, bringing our art into the 21 st century. This is everyone’s congress, so suggestions and comments are always welcomed. See you soon!
