Carillon Workshop

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.' Look at this video to get an idea of how much fun it is:
