Family concert Trash – Roadwork

Family concert **Trash – Roadwork** invites you into a thunderous, unforgettable journey where the elegance of classical music meets the raw, exhilarating power of urban percussion. Under the baton of conductor **Nicholas Swensen**, the **Aarhus Symfoniorkester** collaborates with the explosive percussion duo **Thomas Hamilton** and **Jesper Mikkelsen**, whose percussive wizards transform everyday trash cans, bicycles, plastic pipes and more into explosive instruments of sound. Prepare for a concert that feels alive and joyful, as Hamilton and Mikkelsen drown the hall in drumbeats that rumble, roar, and rattle. Their idea—infusing “old pieces of music with new life” from what we normally discard—creates a dazzling blend of classic repertoire, stomping rhythms, theatrical flair, and spontaneous audience participation that has charmed listeners across the Nordic region for years. Every performance is a high‑energy carnival where the audience can literally become part of the music—participants are welcomed to add their own sounds, with the promise that they’ll clean up afterward, because every new find becomes a new instrument. With a lineup that slices from **Bizet’s “Toreador Song”** to the electrifying theme from *Mission: Impossible* (Lalo Schifrin), this film showcases how trash can be turned into treasure. The film covers each bombastically choreographed element, revealing how these “mad scientists” of the stage bring the ordinary to life. Experience the full explosion of sound, sight, and spirit in **Trash – Roadwork**. Don’t miss your chance to watch this dynamic, family‑friendly performance.
