TROMP 2022 Finale

Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, Grote Zaal

• Sunday 20 November 2022

The Dutch Canadian composer Trevor Grahl writes the new mandatory percussion concerto Folly that the three TROMP finalists will perform with Asko|Schönberg. During the performance, the percussion soloist and ensemble must play together with a video that is then projected on a large screen. How exactly is still a surprise. Exciting, because the three greatest percussion talents from all over the world are competing at the highest level for the prizes.
