Programme October 25, 2025

On Saturday evening, October 25, from 7:15 to 8:00 p.m., you are invited to listen to the enchanting sounds of the Campus Carillon at the University of Twente. In darkness, lit only by candlelight, the campus carillonists will show how music can connect people from every corner of the world.

The concert takes place during the “Nacht van de Nacht” (Night of the Night), a national campaign that raises awareness about light pollution and sustainability.

On the campus of the university, by candlelight and surrounded by nature, experience how the sounds of the carillon merge with the night. A unique opportunity to reflect on the beauty of darkness and the power of music as a universal language. A poetic experience in the dark!
