A performance of Stimmung, Karlheinz Stockhausen’s seminal work for vocal sextet. This spiritual and musical ‘tuning’ is an exploration of the power of sound on both a micro and macro scale, pulling apart the harmonics of our singing as they collide with rhythmic chanting, invocation of magic names from around the world, and the recitation of erotic poetry.
This concert is produced in conjunction with MicroFest.
Ensemble:
- Chloé Vaught - soprano
- Molly Pease - mezzo
- Chohi Kim - alto
- Saunder Choi - tenor
- Fahad Siadat - tenor
- James Hayden - bass
