Repertoire Days
Masterclasses led by jury members and laureates
in various locations throughout the world
For more than a decade, TROMP Percussion has been building international connections through its Repertoire Days – a series of events that bring young percussionists, professors, and world-class artists together in masterclasses, lectures, and concerts. After twelve years of close collaboration with IPEA at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, TROMP now expanded this initiative to multiple cities across Asia. For the first time in its history, the tour also included South Korea.
