Work Introduction
"Metanoia" is a work for Symphony Orchestra with seven musicians surrounding the audience. They are not soloist but part of an evolving sound capturing the audience´s attention.
The name of the piece comes from the Greek "metanoia", translated as "change of mind" or "beyond the mind."
Its literal meaning denotes a situation in which once a road has been taken, direction has to be reversed and another road has to be chosen.
