Unbound from Space and Time: Spatial Compositions of Karlheinz Stockhausen

Spanning three decades of his oeuvre, an evening of spatial compositions by Karlheinz Stockhausen. The concepts of each of Stockhausen’s works were perpetually expanded upon, which created a cohesive universe within itself. The earliest of the works on the program, YLEM, sonically imagines the Big Bang with a large ensemble of mixed acoustic and electronic instruments. Time and space musically are connected in  Stockhausen’s world and in his seven day opera Licht, the thematic material transcends through time on cellular and celestial levels.

The concert will begin in the Conrad Prebys Concert Hall before moving outdoors.
