In 2020, the entire competition took place online 🦠, and our participants never had the chance to be in Eindhoven. 😔 But our photographer Claudia Hansen Photography wanted to make sure they became part of the Tromp family. 💡 She came up with a special idea: "I wanted the participants of 2020 to still have their moment in the small hall of the Muziekgebouw Eindhoven and be included in the Tromp photo archive. 📸 Because if you're not in the archive, you're often forgotten. So, I projected their video performances onto the walls of the small hall and photographed them this way — in the hall where they would have performed." 🎶 This is how our online edition was captured, after all. Check out these never-before-published photos! 👀 (more coming soon!)

2020 was a different kind of competition edition — no participants in the green room, no audience, just the crew of Eindhoven and Tromp taking care of the live-streams 📡 and making even Tromp Percussion Eindhoven 2020 happen!

About TROMP

Dr. Ir. Theo Tromp founded the Tromp Biennial in Eindhoven in 1970 because he felt young people had too few opportunities. Over forty 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.

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 master classes in solo percussion repertoire with members of the jury and laureates for potential candidates in Boston, Shanghai, Moscow and Tokyo during the Repertoire Days, previous to the competition.
