(*1973) started playing the carillon under direction of Peter Bremer while studying in Enschede, The Netherlands. After graduating as an Electrical Engineer he moved to Belgium, where he continued playing the carillon at the carillon school in Mechelen. He studied with Eddy Mariën and Geert D’hollander, and graduated in 2002. After another year of lessons with Boudewijn Zwart he received the first price in the prestigious Queen Fabiola competition for carillon in 2003. Together with Luc Rombouts he forms the carillon duet „The Bells’ Angels” since 2000. Since 2009, Twan is appointed carillonneur of the town of Grimbergen. In this function he aims to involve the community in the carillon tradition through concerts that appeal to the audience by choice of music, by organizing memorable events or by collaborating with other artists. Since 2024 he teaches the carillon at a local music school. In his daily life Twan is still an engineer, working for a consulting firm in the energy sector.
