19th CONFERENCE OF THE NSCK
 
     

VÄSTERÅS - From the 30th of July to the 4th of August 2001 the Nordic Society of Campanology and Carillon (NSCK) had their 19th Nordic Bell Conference in Västerås. The conference included lessons, excursions and concerts. As something special the Norwegian Travelling Carillon from the Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry was played every day by different carillonneurs, which gave a lot of 'ordinary' people a very good impression of the carillon as a concert instrument.

CARILLONS IN SWEDEN
In Sweden there are sixteen carillons with a baton keyboard. Unfortunately, most of them are covered with a thick layer of dust. In March 2001 teachers and students from the Scandinavian Carillon School visited some of them. As a result teachers and students from the school took part in Carillon festivals in Landskrona and Malmö during the summer of 2001.
