Theater aan het Spui will form the backdrop for Stockhausen’s Kathinka’s Gesang (Als Luzifers Requiem Vom Samstag Aus Licht) for solo flute and six percussionists. Artist-in-residence Christian Karlsen will conduct the Royal Conservatory Orchestra with a performance of the opera Michael’s Reise um die Erde (vom Donnerstag aus Licht) for trumpet and orchestra. Stockhausen opened a new world of sound when he wrote this visionary music. Marco Blaauw, a Dutch trumpeter and eminent Stockhausen-interpreter, will play the role of the archangel Michael.

The 43rd edition of the Dag in de Branding Festival revolves around two twentieth century giants: Edgard Varèse and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Several dozen wind players and percussionists will play a selection of Edgard Varèse’s most iconic compositions: masterpieces like Intégrales, Ionisation and Déserts, which to this day never fail to amaze because of their originality.
