Join us at Burton Tower to hear Trevor Workman, appointed Carillonneur by Bournville Village Trust in 1965. Now in his 60th year as Carillonneur, Trevor continues to give twice weekly recitals on Bournville Carillon throughout the year. He has completed extensive recital tours of Europe and the United States and regularly plays in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France.
In 2018, Trevor was recognised by the late Queen - HM Queen Elizabeth II when he received the British Empire Medal in the Birthday Honours list for “Services to the British Carillon Society and to the Community of Bournville.”
In 2019, Trevor was honoured and privileged to be invited to be a member of the jury for the ‘International Queen Fabiola Carillon Competition’ in Mechelen, Belgium. He is currently serving a second term in office as President of the Carillon Society of Britain and Ireland (CSBI) and is active in promoting the carillon and the carillon art in England.
CONCERT INFORMATION: Summer carillon concerts are free and open to all, including to families and their pets. The music happens rain or shine. Please note that concerts are scheduled on both Central and North Campus, so plan your commute accordingly. When you arrive, take a program from the stand near the tower and have a seat outdoors wherever you like, or bring your own lawn chair or blanket (even your own picnic!). Concert staff wearing nametags will be available to answer questions or direct you to accessible restrooms and other facilities. For best acoustics, sit far enough away from the tower to have a direct line of sight to the bells.
PARKING: The nearest municipal parking structures are at 324 Maynard and at 510 E Washington.
Programs will be posted a week before each concert at www.gobluebells.com
