July 2016. Frank on Facebook: Party time! 25 years ago I graduated as a carillonneur, so I'm celebrating my silver jubilee this Summer with a lot of golden sounds from bronze bells. Festivals in Denmark, UK, Belgium, Holland, and then off to Buenos Aires for the last Rieu concert with mobile carillon. Oh..... and André just congratulated me on my silver jubilee as a member of his orchestra. Officially appointed 22 years but our first concert together was 25 years ago. Time flies when you are having fun!

September 16th 2017. 'Monsieur Carillon' wins Fruit Corso Contest in Tiel! The mobile carillon transformed this weekend into a massive float, depicting a nostalgic figure dragging along a carillon tower with three living statues playing the clockworks and Frank Steijns playing the carillon. A special cross-over celebration for both Fruitcorso and carillon culture, both marked as Culturul Heritage by UNESCO. The whole town of Buren worked together about one year, constructing this enormous float. Congratulations to you all, Mr. Carillon is the winner!
