Welcome to the Jubilee concert! You may deepen out the knowledge of the Stockhausen pieces and enjoy some new aspects of the groups' composing and playing.

03 Sedna (Vincze, 2004) You may see the piece here.

05 Sporet (The Track - Lekfeldt 2004) Played by Helene Jerg, cello solo. This is a long piece allowing for arranging the pages in an order ad libitum and with diversified notation.

06 Bird of Passage (Karlheinz Stockhausen, 1970) Ivan Vincze, vla - J rgen Lekfeldt, keys - Carl Bergstroem-Nielsen, horn etc. Contrary to Night Music and its equals, this is a piece from For Times to Come which describes a narrative, and through shifts it gives rise to a linear development of different formal sections.
