In the organizer's words:
A burden called history. Markus Stockhausen is the son of Karlheinz Stockhausen—a fact that feels like both a legacy and a burden. The fact that Stockhausen Jr. never let this deter him and instead forged his own path between jazz, classical trumpet, and contemporary music is one of the most impressive artistic journeys in German jazz. He has worked with Rabih Abou-Khalil and the Arditti Quartet, and composed for the WDR Symphony Orchestra. And yet he has remained a trumpeter—one with a bright, clear, almost vocal tone that fills a hall without ever overwhelming it.
His group is his very own constellation. Jeroen van Vliet plays piano, Jörg Brinkmann plays cello, and Christian Thomé plays drums. Four instruments and four languages form an open structure that gives each performance a different character. Add to that the venue: the Kunstraum Norten, a private space that ranks among the region’s most unique concert venues. A Sunday morning, a trumpeter whose career spans an entire musical century, and a quartet that defies categorization come together for a musical experience rarely found. It’s not to be missed.
