Menezes/K/Sequenza 9.3/Galy - Simone Menezes & K: Metanoia - A Music Documentary

Metanoia � the word itself � means beyond thought; to broaden and change the way of seeing. �Metanoia�, which crosses both time and borders with the works of Giacomo Puccini, Arvo P�rt, Alexander Borodin, Johann Sebastian Bach, Heitor Villa-Lobos and Ennio Morricone, is steeped in this concept: From Puccini, who only wrote one sacred work on account of the �Almighty God� commanding him to write �only for the stage�, to Bach, who possessed an astonishing ability to make us experience transcendence using the simplest of elements, to P�rt, whose ten-year creative crisis birthed a new, highly original musical language. Together with her ensemble, K, the choir Sequenza 9.3, and violinist Manon Galy, Simone Menezes travels across Italy and invites us to experience the thought-transcending aspects of music, and to uncover the personal journeys of Metanoia of some of the greatest figures in music and art.
