Offering Lessons in Carillon, Organ, and Theory
Gerald feels honoured to play the 54 bell carillon at the historic Metropolitan United Church of Toronto, where he plays one of only 11 carillons in Canada for services, weddings and special events. You’ll hear him pealing the bells every Sunday morning from 10:30 to 11 am and most weekdays in the early afternoon.
