Gdańsk Tower Music Festival
Since 15th century there is a tradition of tower trumpeters concert in Gdańsk. The carillon has joined their concerts at least from mid-19th century. The group Tubicinatores Gedanses (Gdańsk Trumpeters) decided to revive this old tradition of playing together that was stopped by World War II.
Every Monday and Thursday from 29 July till 15 August there will be 20-minutes concerts on three Gdańsk towers, played by 4 trumpeters (natural trumpets), carillonist and drummer. The musicians are dressed in historical costumes and between the towers accompanied by a group of historical re-enactors of bourgeois and military figures from the 18th century, as well as urban shouters. Watch them on YouTube.
In addition to these events a series of educational concerts on the mobile carillon Mobillon will take place in the period 26 May till 14 July.
