The topic of environmental destruction dominates this moment in time.
In particular we must urgently decide what to do about our trash, waste and poisonous materials.
The composer and conductor Gregor A. Mayrhofer saw this as an opportunity to address the issues in a musical way and composed a concerto for recycled percussion and orchestra dedicated to the young percussionist Vivi Vassileva: The Recycling Concerto.
