The Festival
Dear FRIENDS, CONCERT-GOERS, PEOPLE, let us take you into the fascinating world of rhythm!
Percussion is the instrument of the 21st century.

From quiet and lyrical, to powerful and energetic, over five days we offer pure percussion! In addition to countless concerts, there will be discussions, an education programme, parties, and even an instrument exhibition.
