November 8 to 18, the most talented percussionists from around the world traveled to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven to participate in the TROMP International Percussion Competition, the only biennial competition for solo percussion in the world. The day before the finale is a perfect opportunity to see the TROMP jury - the international top of percussionists - perform. After a week of evaluation and assessment, the jury members left the confines of their jury seats to come together on stage for an unprecedented percussion show. Participants not admitted to the Finale were invited to join the jury members on the stage.
