Stimmung Stockhausen

This transcendental meditation through music will become a literal feast for the senses in a new production at LBO directed by Alexander Gedeon with music directors Fahad Siadat and David Harris. Karlheinz Stockhausen, one of the most important and controversial figures in the sphere of contemporary music in the 20th and 21st century, created STIMMUNG for 6 acapella voices to intone a stream of polylinguistics: the names of gods from dozens of religions; the days of the week in myriad languages; pure vowel tones; absurd nonsequiteurs. Stockhausen’s eerie, static, microtonal vocal score is delivered just above a whisper. LBO’s STIMMUNG takes place in a "magical kitchen” in which the audience encircles the six performers at a central table, and the singers will virtuosically prepare a meal for the audience over the hour-long duration of the piece. At the culmination of the performance, singers and the audience alike break bread together.
