The Sound of Maastricht & Zuyd Hogeschool
20:00 - 01:00
Annex
Slowly but surely, the bells are falling silent. A centuries-old phenomenon is in danger of disappearing. Will church bells and carillons continue to exist as churches change their purpose and bells are removed from towers?
Frank Steijns is city carillonneur of the municipality of Maastricht. He brightens up the city centre with carillon music from the City Hall and he also plays in the Saint Servatius Basilica. Frank's mission is to make the sounds of the carillons, the intangible heritage, a protected city sound. Four students and two alumni from the Communication and Multimedia Design program at Maastricht Institute of Arts (Zuyd Hogeschool) embarked on this mission. They discuss the importance of carillons and their sounds in Maastricht in an interactive presentation.
The Sound of Maastricht is a sneak preview of a future Maastricht Museum exhibition
