APPLY FOR TROMP NEXT GEN: MALLET COMPETITION 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.
