Stiebler and Scelsi

A night of architectural timbres performed in memory of Ernstalbrecht Stiebler (1934–2024)

Ernstalbrecht Stiebler was greatly influenced by Giacinto Scelsi's works and, during his working life at Hessicher Rundfunk, helped produce many of Scelsi's orchestral pieces. Tonight's performances explore how both of their concepts of resonance and klang pointed towards harmonic space.
