BIO
Miro Petkov, Bulgarian musician, is Principal Trumpet of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. He is also an internationally recognised trumpet soloist, as well as Professor of Trumpet at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

In Varna, Bulgaria, Miro was born into a family of non-musicians, but his childhood was surrounded by music. He started his trumpet studies at age eleven with Ivan Iliev at the National School of Arts Dobri Christov. After graduating, he continued his studies in Germany with Max Sommerhalder at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold. From there, he began to receive international recognition, winning prizes at trumpet competitions including the YAMAHA International Trumpet Contest, the ARD Music Competition and others. Before moving to Amsterdam in 2016, Miro held the position of Principal Trumpet at the National Theater Mannheim in Germany.

Alongside his classical music career, Miro enjoys sharing his love for folklore music. Combining it together with his fascination for jazz, electronica and other contemporary styles, he has shaped an authentic musical signature.

Member concert
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to over 50 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?

The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
