Joseph Min is the winner of the 2024 Queen Fabiola Carillon Competition. After graduating summa cum laude from the Royal Carillon School “Jef Denyn” in Mechelen, Belgium in 2023 studying with Koen Cosaert and Koen Van Assche, he has performed on carillons throughout America and Europe. Prior to this, he studied with Joey Brink at the University of Chicago where he was introduced to the instrument. He is a member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA) and World Carillon Federation (WCF) and has premiered multiple new compositions at GCNA and WCF congresses. Joseph recently graduated from the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP), and currently works as an acoustician, photographer, and freelance carillonist. His work in acoustics and music will help further both architecture and carillon culture.
