Canadian Premiere of Stockhausen's “Freude”

presented by Analog Arts & 

Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ)

Satosphère at Société des arts technologiques

1195 Boulevard Saint-Laurent
Montréal, QC H2X 256 Canada

     métro stop: Saint-Laurent

​

Lilac 94 is pleased to be part of the Canadian premiere of Karlheinz Stockhausen's KLANG: The 24 Hours of the Day at SMCQ's 2019 Montréal New Music Festival, a notable international festival. Intended to include 24 pieces but left incomplete at the time of Stockhausen’s death (2007), this 21-part work gives space to meditate on time, spirituality, and reality, allowing the audience to reflect on the meaning of mortality. Charting the journey of the soul from the body into the afterlife, it is the final, epic statement of the composer and a fitting capstone to Stockhausen’s massive career. The music ranges from intimate chamber pieces to virtuosic displays and electronic extravaganzas. Lilac 94 performs KLANG's second part, "Freude" (Joy), which was written for two harps.
