About  Rosemary Laing

Rosemary Laing was introduced to the carillon by Carillonneur Emeritus Herman Bergink, and later studied with Dr. Andrea McCrady, Dominion Carillonneur at the Peace Tower in Ottawa.  Laing was appointed Carillonneur of the Netherlands Centennial Carillon in 1993 after Bergink’s retirement, and subsequently qualified to become a Carillonneur Member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. Laing holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, a Masters and Doctorate in Metaphysical Science, and is an Associate of the Royal Canadian College of Organists. She currently teaches in the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria.   

When Rosemary isn't playing the bells at the top of the tower, an automated player strikes the hour and plays a short tune.
