GDANSK - The programme of the 15th World Congress of the World Carillon Federation to be held in Gdansk (Poland) consists of a variety of activities. Recital programmes and lectures throughout the congress will reflect the theme of the Congress: Carillon - historical instrument for the future. Recitals will not only be given on the carillon of the Old City Hall and on the Travelling Carillon of the Dutch bell-founder Eijsbouts, but also on the carillon of the St. Catherine church.
The congress starts officially on Sunday July 16, 2006 and ends on Thursday July 20, 2006. The Executive Committee and the Committee of Delegates meet on Saturday July 15 in the City Hall and on Tuesday July 18 in Malbork Castle.
