Mary meets Karlheinz - Landmarks of electronic music

The first of Jacaranda's three-event tribute to Stockhausen muse, Mary Bauermeister.

This event will feature performer Nicholas Isherwood, who created the role of "Lucifer" in three of the operas making up Stockhausen's massive cycle "Licht." Isherwood will perform "Capricorn" for singer and electronics, tailored to his voice by the composer, and will wear the original 1974 costume designed by Bauermeister. This performance will follow a rare hearing of "Kontakte," a seminal electronic work, in a new hi-def digital restoration. The 1960 premiere of the 30-minute work was also the occasion in which Stockhausen met Bauermeister.
