On November 14th 1994 the Stockhausen Foundation for Music was ratified as a non-profit foundation having as its purpose “the advancement of musicology including the stimulation of music culture based on the creative oeuvre of Professor Karlheinz Stockhausen” (paragraph 2.2 of the foundation statutes). The Stockhausen Foundation for Music is in

a position to fulfil this mandate due to the fact that the biographical and musical stations of the composer are documented in its archives by way of composition sketches, scores, recordings, instruments, costumes and requisites, photographs and films, and comprehensive written sources, and accessible to scientific research. In addition, one of the responsibilities of the foundation is to continue the Stockhausen Concerts and Courses Kürten, which have taken place every summer since they were initiated by
Stockhausen in 1998. The uniqueness of this event lies in its combination of concerts, master classes, composition seminars and scientific symposia aimed at a large, international audience. In order to be able to mediate Stockhausen’s music and art of interpretation, ideas, thoughts and observations in this way, the support of friends and patrons is needed. Therefore, the Stockhausen Foundation for Music would like to ask you to make a contribution to help fulfil its mission, so that the Stockhausen Concerts and Courses Kürten, its most ambitious project to date, can be continued. Even an amount of 500 to 700 € would enable us to give a scholarship to a young musician to attend the courses. Due to the non-profit, cultural, and scientific nature of the foundation, donations are tax-deductible. Thank you very much for your kind attention and support.

"Sometimes music vibrates beyond the clouds, and we can no longer hear its echo. Very rarely is it truly infinite; then it makes us forget the Earth. The great masters sense that they have one last thing to say, and that life is coming to an end –. But their music stays behind with humanity as a l...

Auction Alert
Here something interesting for Art/Music lovers:

Mary Bauermeister gave Suzanne Stephens a “portrait box” which she made especially for her in 1978-79 incorporating details of her musical collaboration and life with Karlheinz Stockhausen. At that time Suzee had been living and working with Stockhausen for 4 years. The material Mary Bauermeister used comprises, among other things, clarinet reeds which Suzee used in concerts performing the works Stockhausen had composed for her up until that time, and sheets of music from the pieces, such as HARLEKIN for solo clarinet.

There is also a portrait of the Mahavatar Babaji, of Suzee, her horoscope and beautiful mystical and esoteric messages hidden in the far reaches of the box, for instance:

Music language of next higher dimension
silence telepathy
entrance through path of inner soul
Music of the spheres
harmonisation of all beings and entities into one chord of oneness-wholeness and perfection.

Here is a link to the auction catalogue of Kunsthaus Lempertz in Cologne. The auction will take place on November 29 at 18.00. Mary’s Box is Lot 69.

I want to create worlds, which – through a leap of consciousness – include everything that is known. This never ends. Each generation of artists adds something to this, one less, another one more. The task is to devote all of our energy,all of our diligence to experiencing the unknown, to exploring it and thereby constantly expanding the human spirit.

(Stockhausen: Elektronische Musik seit 1952, November 5th 1986)

Ich möchte Welten schaffen, in die alles, was bekannt ist, durch einen Bewusstseinssprung mit hineingezogen wird. Das hört nie auf. Jede Generation von Künstlern fügt da etwas hinzu, eine weniger, eine andere mehr. Es ist die Aufgabe, unsere ganze Energie, unseren ganzen Fleiß darauf zu verwenden, Unbekanntes zu erfahren, zu erforschen und dadurch ständig den menschlichen Geist zu erweitern.

(Aus: Elektronische Musik seit 1952, 5. November 1986)

Question: Do you dread humanity?
Stockhausen: No, not at all. I think that, in the last analysis, we are being pulled upwards, as in LICHT:At the end, there is a little bit of progress, of beauty and of love.

(From: Ineinssetzung von Kunst und Gebet, November 2002)

Frage: Graut es Ihnen vor den Menschen?
Stockhausen: Nein, überhaupt nicht. Ich glaube, es ist letztlich so: Es zieht uns hinauf. Wie in LICHT: Am Ende gibt es ein kleines Quantum an Fortschritt, an Schönheit und an Liebe.

(Aus: Ineinssetzung von Kunst und Gebet, November 2002)
