We are very exited to welcome you to the first edition of Bodø BEAT International Percussion Festival, taking place in Bodø, Norway on May 20th–21st 2022, at Stormen Concerthall.
Bodø BEAT International Percussion Festival is an event created by and for percussionists to share and develop their skills, in front of an audience. With a team of international artists, this will be a weekend full of concerts, workshops, lectures, discussions and masterclasses. We encourage everyone to participate actively, so feel free to bring your orchestral excerpts for timpani and percussion, solo repertoire, general questions and discussion topics with you.
In this year’s program, we will have a main focus on timpani and traditional-rudimental drumming.
