Missouri State University has been chosen to host the 2015 Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA) Congress on June 15-19, where carillonists from across the world will gather to present on their craft.
Missouri State is home to the Jane A. Meyer carillon, a 48-bell Eijsbouts instrument. Erected in 2001, the tower sits centrally on campus as part of the Meyer Library.
