The Carillonists

In its early years the Carillon was played by a number of honorary carillonists, some of whom were also students at the University. In 1932 John Douglas Gordon began his association with the Carillon as an honorary carillonist (for photo, see former carillonists). In 1944 he was appointed as the first University Carillonist, which he remained until his death in 1991. Reginald Walker then filled the position until May 1992, when Jill Forrest was appointed.

The honorary carillonists:

Liz Cartwright	June Catchpoole
Edward Grantham	Louise Grantham

Recitals are also given by carillonists from Canberra and visiting players from overseas.
