The TROMP International Percussion Competition is open to professional percussionists aged between 18 and 35. Over the course of four rounds, they are given the opportunity to demonstrate what makes them special as musicians. It is not just technique that counts, but also their own artistic vision, originality and stage presence.
In Round 1, TROMP sets aside the usual rules for a while. No set pieces, no two performances that sound the same. Ten of the world’s best young percussionists come to Eindhoven to show: this is who I am.
They’re coming to Eindhoven from all over the world. Each musician puts together a programme that’s entirely their own, ranging from electronic to classical and contemporary. Round 1 is their first introduction to the audience: ten 35-minute recitals, in which each percussionist shows, in their own way, who they are and what they stand for.
Three venues at CKE will each have their own unique atmosphere. You can decide for yourself where to go and at what pace to experience the afternoon. Let your curiosity guide you and discover ten musicians who all play, listen and think differently.
This is the most open and personal round of the entire competition. Ten different worlds, one afternoon. You decide where to start and where to go next.
In our programme there is always something to experience
Screen-printing exhibition: technique, experimentation and a distinctive visual language
13 screen printers are presenting a diverse selection of their work on the ground floor and 1st floor of CKE.
Horror and Halloween Theatre
In this short workshop, you’ll create a character for a horror story. How do you step into the shoes of the most deranged serial killer? You’ll have the audience on the edge of their seats. You’ll learn to create a character who makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end and whom you’d rather not come across in real life.
