In 2020, the Foundation for Cultural Renewal commissioned Gregor A. Mayrhofer to compose an oratorio on Pope Francis’ environmental encyclical “Laudato si’”. Gregor Mayrhofer, born in 1987, has already created an extensive musical oeuvre. Among the now approximately one hundred compositions there are works for orchestra, chamber music ensembles, vocal ensembles, solo works for individual instruments, as well as various jazz compositions. In 2018 he composed the Insect Concerto for the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic to draw attention to the global decline of insects. The Recycling Concerto followed in 2021, a concert for recycling percussion and orchestra, with which Mayrhofer addresses the garbage problem.
Gregor Mayrhofer studied composition and conducting at the Musikhochschule in Munich, at the Paris Conservatory, at the Musikhochschule in Düsseldorf and at the Juilliard School in New York.
