Alan Bowman

Indiana University Jacobs School of Music

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Alan Bowman played the piano and organ from an early age. He earned a bachelor’s degree in systems analysis with a minor in piano performance from Miami University and a Master of Music degree in Organ Performance from Florida Atlantic University. Bowman lived and worked in Florida for more than 25 years as a director of music in Lutheran, Anglican, and Roman Catholic churches. In 2021, he was introduced to the carillon in Dayton, Ohio, by Larry Weinstein, who gave him his initial lessons and encouragement to study at the Royal Carillon School “Jef Denyn” in Mechelen, Belgium. Under the guidance of his carillon teacher Koen Van Assche, Bowman graduated in June of 2023 and performed a 16-concert tour in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, and the United States. Earlier this year, Bowman succeeded Weinstein as carilloneur of the Deeds Carillon at Carillon Historical Park in Dayton.
