U2 – Beethoven Celebrates Percussion

What: “U-Turn | the orchestra festival ignites the next stage of the classical music revolution: an evening with percussion star Alexej Gerassimez. He may not be banging the drums, but he will be playing trash and recycled material. He will play a brand-new percussion concerto by the successful composer Enjott Schneider, whose composition ingeniously translates the theme of sustainability into music!
