Esmeralda was commissioned by Internationales Kinderchorfestival Dresden to write an a cappella choral piece on the theme of ‘Environment’ for six international children choirs’. Esmeralda selected words by activist Greta Thunberg and featured these in the third movement of her Waste Trilogy: ‘The Good Place’.The piece will involve single use plastic and live recycling on stage as part of the performance. 350 singers from 6 different worldwide children’s choirs will perform the piece.
