Jim Startman

He’s still a student at the Utrecht Conservatory, but carillonist Jim Startman is already more than welcome at our illustrious carillon keyboard. This top talent dives into French Baroque with a sizzling mix of Lully’s Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, the majestic passacaglia from Armide, and Couperin’s intriguing Les folies Françaises: twelve variations portraying moods such as jealousy, coquetry, and despair. A fresh take on age-old sound theatre.
