Waste, trash and rubbish overwhelm our planet. What solutions can we find for the environmental destruction and pollution everywhere? The composer and conductor Gregor A. Mayrhofer saw this as an opportunity to make a creative musical statement and composed the

RECYCLING CONCERTO 
for recycled percussion and orchestra
dedicated to the young percussionist Vivi Vassileva

Various new percussion instruments were developed for the piece, all made from recycled materials. 
For example: a "BOTTLERIMBA" (Marimba made of recycled PLASTIC BOTTLES), 
a GLASS BOTTLE - vibraphone, COFFEE CAPSULE - chimes and many more instruments made uniquely of recycled material.

The Recycling Concerto can even include local trash of the cities in which the concert will be played and so connect an ecological subject with a completely new musical experience.

Staan wij los van de natuur of zijn we ermee verbonden? Grote kunstenaars stellen grote vragen, ook in muziek. Componist en dirigent Gregor Mayrhofer vroeg zich af hoe hij afgedankte voorwerpen kon hergebruiken. Zijn Recycling Concerto werd een adembenemend concert voor ‘van–alles–dat–anders–bij–het–afval–zou–belanden’ en orkest. Vivi Vassileva (winnares Leonard Bernstein Award 2023) is een van de meest getalenteerde slagwerkers van deze tijd. ‘Vassileva klimt helemaal ín het ritme; haar gebaren, gezichtsuitdrukkingen en haar hele lichaam worden pure energie’, schreef de Kölnische Rundschau. Zij weet wel raad met de bontgekleurde slagwerkopstelling van afgedankte potten en pannen, glazen en petflessen, drankblikjes, lampenkappen en zaagbladen. In dit programma waar de natuur centraal staat, dirigeert Mayrhofer, geheel ongerept, een stromende Moldau van Smetana en klinkt Mendelssohns passie voor de natuur in zijn onstuimige Hebriden ouverture.
