REGISTRATION NOW OPEN UNTIL MARCH 1, 2026 〰️

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.

  • Meditation Concert

    DAUW Mediation Concert

    February 22, 2026 11.00

    M by Muziekgebouw Eindhoven 

    feat. Yi-Fan Du × Anne Peters 

    DAUW is a new series of meditation concerts where sound, breath and presence come together.  

    Each concert begins with a guided meditation led by Zen teacher Anne Peters. From a place of stillness, the live concert unfolds, filled with deep resonance, subtle energy and rhythmic mastery.  

    Performed by a percussionist of TROMP Percussion, the live concert guides you through a sound experience that is both meditative and musically immersive. From singing bowls to marimba, from gongs to vibraphone; like dew, the sounds rest gently over the space, inviting stillness and a rediscovery of listening.  

    No experience with meditation or music is required, everyone is welcome.  

    Afterwards, there is time for connection: to share impressions, reflect, or remain together in quiet presence.
