The Philips carillon<\/strong> is a gift from the Dutch staff of the N.V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken,<\/strong> offered on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the company on September 23, 1966. The initiative, which originated from the Philips staff, was made possible thanks to the participation of all employees in the action \u201cLet the party bell ring\u201d of the Philips Staff Felicitation Fund. In order for this jubilee gift to express audibly what can be achieved through joint effort, a fund was also set up to promote the playing of the carillon.<\/p>\n

The carillon was originally located in a specially designed bell tower near the Evoluon in the Strijp district. Over time, however, it was concluded that it actually belonged above a bustling city center. You can hear with your own ears how true this is, now that since April 30, 1987 he has been spreading his sounds over the city center.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
