Hinnerup Garden
Dänemark
The Percussion Ensemble of Hinnerup Garden consists of seven young musicians aged 12 to 30, all passionate about playing percussion. The ensemble is rooted in the proud Danish percussion tradition, incorporating marching drums, classical percussion, and mallet instruments. Since 2017, the ensemble has been led by percussionist Rasmus Clemens and has remained undefeated in every competition they have entered. Notable achievements include victories at every official Danish Championships since 2019 (2019, 2022, and 2024), as well as five first-place wins at the Danish Open – several times with maximum points. Hinnerup Garden is based in the town of Hinnerup, located just outside Aarhus, Denmark’s second largest city. The band has around 50 members aged 8 and up. On a daily basis, it is divided into four units: beginner school, junior corps, brass band, and drum corps each with their own instructor, but with strong collaboration and a close-knit spirit across all groups.
