Augustus Carillon Month

In August, there is a live carillon concert every Thursday evening from the tower of the Grote Kerk Breda. Prior to that, the carillonneur of the evening plays on the Heuvelcarillon.

Information

Summer evenings in Breda become magical with the weekly carillon concert at the Grote Toren. Every Thursday evening from 7.00 pm, live carillon music can be enjoyed. A varied programme with a different carillon player each week.

The Klokkenluidersgilde Breda sets the tone with a festive introduction starting at 6.45 pm before each concert. 
The concerts can be listened to in the centre of Breda. The terrace of the Foodhall is a lovely spot for this. A programme is also distributed here. After the concerts, there is a meet & greet with the carillon player on the terrace of de Bruine Pij on Kerkplein.
