2016 Gilmore Festival: Mantra Project

Join pianists Katherine Chi and Aleksandar Madžar as they perform one of the most challenging and controversial masterworks of the 20th century: Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Mantra for two pianos, percussion, and electronics. This infrequently-performed piece illustrates Stockhausen’s method of creating a “mirroring effect” between the acoustically produced piano sounds and their electronically produced counterparts. Expect to have your concept of music and power of concentration tested!

A pre-concert talk by Beau Bothwell, Assistant Professor of Music at Kalamazoo College, will be held Monday, May 2 at 12 PM in the Epic Theatre at the Epic Center. Free to ticket holders.
