Events
Genesis of Percussion
TROMP TIP!
Alexej Gerassimez and friends invite their audiences on a voyage of discovery through elemental primal rhythms, Latin American and jazzy grooves, minimalistic dubstep as well as polyrhythmic, but also in baroque grace and romantic playfulness.
Festival Young Talent
As a fresh laureate of the TROMP competition, first prize winner Kai Strobel is invited to perform in this festival that presents a new generation of virtuosi.
MacMillan & Berlioz
TROMP TIP!
MacMillan's percussion concerto with soloist Dominique Vleeshouwers is a thrilling pre-program to Berlioz' Symphony Fantastique. A perfect opportunity to see TROMP's Dutch laureate perform with an orchestra close to home after his great success with Tokyo Sinfonietta in China last year.
Dominique Vleeshouwers & Friends
TROMP TIP!
Dominique Vleeshouwers returns to the local but vibrant percussion community of Weert, home not only to Dominique but also TROMP laureate Ramon Lormans and rising stars Maikel Claessens, Lennard Nijs and Sjoerd Ceelen.
Repertoire Days
TROMP offers the possibility to attend master classes by jury members and laureates in various locations throughout the world.
About Tromp
International Percussion Competition & Festival
Dr. Ir. Theo Tromp founded the Tromp Biennial in Eindhoven in 1970 because he felt young people had too few opportunities. Over forty years later TROMP has become the leading competition for solo percussion in the world, the ideals of its founder close at heart, creating opportunities and a stage for young percussionists from around the world.
TROMP has a
growing list of excellent
winners
