On Friday, October 3rd, 12:30, something special will ring out from the Campus Carillon of the University of Twente. The carillonists of the university's Campus Carillon Circle will join forces with the pupils of primary school De Zonnewijzer (grades 3 through 8) for a sparkling performance full of international sounds.

This concert is part of the festive #Enschede700 project: "The carillons of Enschede in 150 Colours of Sound," a musical ode in which each song represents an Enschede resident and their background.

This year, Enschede celebrates its 700th anniversary. The Enschede Carillon Society is marking this milestone with special international concerts throughout the year. Songs from all corners of the globe – contributed by Enschede residents – will be brought to life on the StadsCarillon and the CampusBeiaard. This creates a vibrant program that showcases the cultural richness of our city.
