Contemporary concert experience with contact as connecting thread

In Kontakte (1960) cult composer Karlheinz Stockhausen turns his back on traditional classical music. By adding electronics to the usual sound arsenal, he manages to create a single musical universe and extend the contact between performers and listeners. HERMESensemble radicalise this in their performance of Stockhausen’s Solo: a musician in Bruges has a live dialogue with a colleague on the other side of the world. Season’s composer Daan Janssens and composer Daniela Fantechi formulate a contemporary answer to Stockhausen's enigmas.

Orpheus Institute provides an introduction to the concert at 19.15 in the Chamber Music Hall. During this introduction Karl-Heinz Stockhausen's Solo will be performed.
