Description
This challenging concert piece in three parts is based on the ancient Greek legend of Pandora. It was commissioned by percussion ensemble St. Barbara Leveroy for their participation at the World Music Contest 2009. The moral of the story is still a topic in our modern time frame. A time frame were humanity's curiosity creates unlimited knowledge and technological possibilities. But when this knowledge - often described as 'Pandora's Box' - is opened, humanity often abuses these knowledge for personal gain or violent purposes.
