I remember reading that after graduating from the conservatory, he was unemployed for one day.<br />He toured over here with the first portable carillon back a few years. He played solo and did a "duel" with Marcel Falize - "Cirkus Renz" which was so much fun. (That's my husband's all timwe favorite.) It is on DVDs.<br />Also attended a concert at Maastricht's St. Servaas church in 2008, I believe. He met with attendees prior to the concert (and climbing all those stairs), but I wasn't among them -- (fan friends dining at Gaucho's went on too long)! The concert was fantastic, however.<br /><br />LaurieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683592745518422511.post-86703202434819548752012-01-24T17:57:49.308-08:002012-01-24T17:57:49.308-08:00Great post.

I a...Nice article, and thanks for the translation! I attended one of Frank Steijns' carillon concerts at St. Servaas church in Maastricht last summer. Unseen, Frank was playing the bells high up in the tower, and the audience was seated in the lavendar-filled courtyard below. It was out-of-this-world beautiful. I am working on a travel article on the Maastricht area - I will let you know when it comes out.

He is such a talented and valuable member of Andre's orchestra."Dreaming Of New Zealand" and the other Viennese waltz composed by both Andre and Frank are so very beautiful and unforgetable. I love to hear Frank play his portable carillon in some concerts and hope to hear him play in a carillon tower some day.Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683592745518422511.post-21590623393836309032012-01-07T20:41:23.645-08:002012-01-07T20:41:23.645-08:00Frank is so multi-talented, so full of fun and so ...Frank is so multi-talented, so full of fun and so "unaffected" like so many others in the orchestra. What an asset he is to André and the entire organization. I'm sure André is very appreciative and also very proud of him (as he should be). I would love to hear him play the carillon someday.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08008645634394496998noreply@blogger.com
