With the Percussion Playground, the Überschlag Festival is launching a new format: a walk-in gathering place for the percussion scene right in the middle of the stage at the Grand Theater of the Hanover State Opera.
On August 21 and 22, exhibitors such as Kolberg Percussion, Yamaha, adams, Didier Lacroix, Matt Nolan Custom, and others will showcase their percussion instruments and mallets right on stage. This specialized event is aimed at professional drummers, music educators, music students, and anyone else interested.
More information coming soon!
For percussionists, we offer the Überschlag Camp before the festival. International instructors specialising in rudiments, solo, marimba, orchestral percussion and timpani will be on hand to work with you individually. Enormous input from morning to night! Interested? More information are available now.
