Percussion duo
Trash

Thomas and Jesper are percussion geniuses who form the duo Trash. They lead audiences at the family concerts, along with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, into a dynamic and exciting sound world where classical performance merges with unconventional instruments and unique sound sources. The percussionists use, amongst other things, trash cans, wheels, and pipes in an original and creative way, transforming noise into resonant beauty. Concertgoers are invited to step into an exciting and unpredictable adventure that keeps the listener captivated from beginning to end.
The program includes works by Rossini, Grieg, Khachaturian, Brahms and other classical masters, but creative recycling put their stamp on the concert.
The concert, which is aimed towards young audiences, is about an hour long, without an intermission.
