Eindhoven - TROMP International Percussion Competition Eindhoven

Dr. Ir. Theo Tromp founded the Tromp Biennale in Eindhoven in 1970 because he felt young musicians had too few opportunities. Over fifty years later the TROMP International Percussion Competition has become the leading competition for solo percussion in the world, the ideals of its founder close at heart, creating opportunities and a stage for young percussionists from around the world. 

Agenda

Competition 2026

TROMP also invests in new audiences and repertoire for percussion. Every edition, compositions are commissioned to leading composers and new audiences are invited to visit the festival. TROMP provides masterclasses in solo percussion repertoire with members of the jury and laureates for potential candidates in Boston, Shanghai, Moscow and Tokyo during the Repertoire Days, prior to the competition.
