We will be producing the US Premiere of KLANG on March 25 and 26th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The Met recently leased out the Breuer Building (former home of the Whitney Museum) to house its modern collection. So, our production will take place in the Met's main building on Central Park East, the Met Breuer, and the Cloisters at the northern tip of Manhattan. See the links above for complete details, including schedule information.
Our roster includes some of NYC's finest musicians. On March 23, the Goethe Institut will host a roundtable discussion with Marco Blaauw, Christine Chapman, and me about KLANG and Stockhausen's work. If you are in or near NYC, please make sure to stop by sometime during the marathon performance!
I feel that it could be useful to have a discussion-forum on the music of Stockhausen. There are so many people from all over the world, young and old, learned and eager to get into contact with this musical world: musicologists, composers, musicians, music lovers; people who plan concerts - who write books or have to give lectures and so on. So there should be much stuff, many ideas that we can share. And when we have open questions, there may be people who studied just that and could give a hint or a stimulus.
A problem might be the English language, but i feel that is the only possibility that many people who are interested can participate. And we can exercise tolerance to mistakes!
