About the carillonneur:

Toni Raats, born in 1960 and raised in Roosendaal, the Netherlands, studied carillon in Mechelen, Belgium, with Carlo van Ulft, Jo Haazen, Eddy Mariën and Geert D’Hollander. Since 1998, he has performed annually in the Netherlands and Belgium, toured North America in 2012, played in Portugal in 2023 and now freelances in Halsteren.
Raats has served as city carillonneur of Roosendaal since 2010. He plays weekly during the market, offers six summer concerts and shares performances worldwide via the YouTube channel carillonsintjanroosendaal. His goal is to bring the bells closer to the people.
Raats is organist for the St. Alfonsus Choir and the cantors at Our Lady’s Church in Roosendaal. He also accompanies soloists, the women’s ensemble Vivace and plays piano with the Delta Quintet and Serenado Trio.
On his mother’s side (Family Los), Raats is the third generation of musicians named Antony — Toon or Toni. In Dutch, the word “toon” means “note” or “tone.”
Outside of music, Raats works as a coach and company social worker, supporting people through conflict, trauma, stress, burnout and change. He sees strong parallels with music — both involve rhythm, improvisation, structure, intonation and, above all, listening well to foster solutions.
