“Sometimes music vibrates beyond the clouds, and we can no longer hear its echo. Very rarely is it truly infinite; then it makes us forget the Earth. The great masters sense that they have one more thing to say, and that life is coming to an end –. But their music stays behind with humanity as a legacy, and we must gratefully preserve this precious gem, and endeavour in the spirit of the musician to grow deeper and deeper into his works and let them worthily arise again.” K. Stockhausen, August 20th 1948
For the 14th year, the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen will be the focal point of nine days of concerts, interpretation courses, seminars, lectures and discussions. Composers, interpreters, musicologists, sound projectionists and music lovers are cordially invited to attend the Stockhausen Concerts and Courses Kürten 2011.
