(Composer Karlheinz Stockhausen)
JUST RELEASED: The U.S. premiere of Friday Farewell has been added to the Karlheinz Stockhausen concert at this year’s White Light Festival on October 30 in Alice Tully Hall.
The audience arriving for the all-Stockhausen concert will be bathed in orange light (per the composer’s instructions) in the lobby of Alice Tully Hall, where they will hear the N.Y. premiere of the composer’s Friday Greeting. At the end of the evening, the orange glow returns for the U.S. premiere of the composer’s Friday Farewell. Both electronic works will be performed by sound projectionist Joe Drew of Analog Arts.
For the concert inside the Starr Theater, percussionist Stuart Gerber will perform Heaven’s Door, and Joe Drew will project Cosmic Pulses. A 700-pound door designed and built to the composer’s specifications by D.J. Betsill, a luthier based in Georgia, will be transported from Georgia to Alice Tully Hall for this performance.
