For over 25 years Bash the Trash has been building, performing and educating with musical instruments made from recycled and reused materials.\u00a0We demonstrate how science can transform even the simplest stuff into cool-sounding instruments, and how\u00a0you can\u00a0make\u00a0your\u00a0own!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Directed by the husband-and-wife creative team of John\u00a0Bertles\u00a0and Carina\u00a0Piaggio, Bash the Trash\u00a0features a national roster of over 30 musicians and teaching artists,\u00a0weaving\u00a0together science, music and environmental awareness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

History of Bash the Trash<\/p>\n

As a separate entity\u00a0BTT\u00a0began providing larger performances in 1991 which brought about the name change to Bash the Trash, which became a registered trademark in 1998.
