Workman
Trevor
Workman, born in 1942 in Birmingham, England, studied
carillon with the then carillonneur of Bournville, Clifford Ball, and
was
appointed his successor in 1965. He represents Great Britain in the
international carillon organization Eurocarillon, records CDs and plays
for
radio and television, and undertakes regular recital tours of Europe
and the
United States. In 2008 Mr. Workman gave the inaugural recital on the
carillon
of York Minster, England, the first carillon to be installed in an
English Anglican
Cathedral. Mr. Workman is a former president of the British Carillon
Society
and is active in promoting the carillon and the carillon art in
England. The
Bournville Carillon celebrated its centenary in 2006 with a
Eurocarillon
festival, and Mr. Workman is now engaged in developing the George
Cadbury
Carillon School, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom, which was
opened
in October 2006 by Sir Adrian Cadbury. This venture is being developed
in
conjunction with the Royal Carillon School 'Jef Denyn' in Mechelen,
Belgium,
and the Netherlands Carillon Institute Dordrecht.
