STIMMUNG Performance on YouTube

Posted on by admin

I’m very excited to share that the performance of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s “STIMMUNG”, with Voices of Silicon Valley at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on November 11, 2018, is finally available to watch on the web!

Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubUZsupy9L4

STIMMUNG, composed in 1968, is a highly influential work for 6 vocalists, microphones and tuning tape. The recording of this performance was released May 17, 2020.

This was my second time performing this work.

Voices of Silicon Valley present a rare performance of a seminal Karlheinz Stockhausen’s work in the San Francisco Bay area. As the timing of its composition approximates San Francisco’s “Summer of Love”, Stimmung aligns itself with its ideals of universal love, religious unity, and meditation. It is accomplished through the deeply meditative nature of the work as well as the use of a variety of Magic Names that come from many different world religion traditions.

In the first half of the program VOSV will present Missa Luba, a 15-minute piece that combines traditional Mass text with African rhythms and drums, as well as Kontakion by our Artistic Director Cyril Deaconoff which combines Eastern Orthodox melodies with Cuban jazz rhythms.
