鈥淭he carillon concerts at SA国际传媒 are a delightful way to spend Tuesday evenings in June,鈥 said Dean of Chapel Dr. Kent Burreson. 鈥淭he carillon is a unique instrument allowing one to hear music written for the carillon and music written for other instruments adapted for the carillon. It can perform music that is joyous, reflective, playful and devotional. Each concert at the hands of Seminary carillonneur Karel Keldermans and guest carillonneur Roy Kroezen will be an enriching and unparalleled experience.鈥
