Welcome to the
Carillon Society of Australia
Our members include carillonists, student carillonists and individuals interested in the carillon and its music. Carillonist members are based at the three carillons in Australia – the National Carillon in Canberra, the War Memorial Carillon at the University of Sydney, and at the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon.
