This carillon concert is a wonderful journey through the history of classical music, from the Baroque to modern film music. The program opens atmospherically with the famous Adagio and then takes the listener past masterpieces by Joseph Haydn and Johann Sebastian Bach.
Particularly special is the sparkling Allegretto van Bach, which was published in the Lommels Beiaardboek (2000–2025). The rhythmic Capriol Suite and the spectacular Capriccio Espagnol are the highlights of the concert. The evening concludes with the recognizable sounds of Cavatina.
