My Music Cares
The future of our planet is now the responsibility of the younger generation. I believe that the discipline of listening and working together to create music and performance can also inspire them to collaborate and be responsible for other aspects of life and community, including respect and care for the natural world. A. Pianelli
Alessio’s Encore project in his beloved home city of Trapani, Sicily is intended to educate and encourage young people aged 11 to 18 to not only appreciate and enjoy music, but also respect and care for the environment. In collaboration with the worldwide charity, Plastic Free, which is resolutely committed to raising awareness of environmental issues, Alessio will lead appropriately themed music workshops in five local schools and also compose new work, including a percussion piece using plastic bottles reclaimed from the coastline. The week-long project in May 2026 will culminate in a community beach clean-up with the students and volunteers, followed by a concert nearby featuring children’s choir and solo and ensemble cello performances with Alessio.
