THE NEW COMPETITION FORMAT IS NOW ONLINE 〰️
In 2026, TROMP Percussion Eindhoven presents not one, but two international competitions as part of its festival in Eindhoven:
the TROMP INTERNATIONAL PERCUSSION COMPETITION
— a high-level solo contest for 10 top-tier percussionists —
and
the new TROMP NEXT GEN: MALLET COMPETITION
— welcoming 50 selected young marimba and vibraphone players from around the world —
After many successful editions, we are proud to present a completely renewed structure for the TROMP International Percussion Competition. The result is a format that encourages artistic risk and creative identity.
