The Unsustainable Concertino makes use of various nontraditional instruments that are often thrown in the garbage. It features the aluminum can and the milk jug. The chamber ensemble consists of a tin can, a plastic bag, a trash bag, a glass bottle, a second milk jug, and a pizza box.
Aluminum cans bend and plastic bags tear, and they eventually become unusable. Therefore, due to the nature of the instruments the music can only be sustained for a short period of time. Therefore, the music is "unsustainable." While the piece itself is meant to be lighthearted and humorous, it is also intended to bring attention to the more serious issue of responsible recycling. The instruments used in this concertino can easily end up in a land fill. However, they are all recyclable.
