Markus Stockhausen |
Markus Stockhausen is
one of the most versatile musicians of our time. He studied initially
at the Cologne Musikhochschule and is as much at home in jazz as in
contemporary and classical music. For about 25 years he collaborated
closely with his father, the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, who has
composed many beautiful works for him. With his brother Simon he
realised several internationally acclaimed musical projects.
As soloist,
improviser and composer Markus Stockhausen is in international demand.
He leads or collaborates in various jazz ensembles with musicians like
Arild Andersen, Patrice Héral, Vladyslav Sendecki (Electric
Treasures), Angelo Comisso, Christian Thomé (Trio
Lichtblick),
Ferenc Snétberger and plays contemporary and intuitive music in
the
duo Moving Sounds with clarinetist Tara Bouman, as well as with
long standing musician-friends like Stefano Scodanibbio, Mark Nauseef
and Fabrizio Ottaviucci. His new group
Eternal Voyage features musicians from India, Greece and Lebanon.
Since February 2000 he directs a concert series called
Klangvisionen with intuitive music in the church of St. Maternus
in Cologne, together with Rolf Zavelberg, who does the artful light
design.
As a composer he has
received commissions from, among others, the RIAS chamber choir, The
London Sinfonietta, the Orchestra d‘Archi Italiana, the Winterthur
Chamber Orchestra, the Cheltenham Music Festival and The 12 Cellists
from the Berlin Philharmonic. In 2007 he wrote „Dancing Light“ for
trumpet, big band and string orchestra for the Swiss Jazz Orchestra
and the Camerata Bern, as well as „Symbiosis“, a double concerto for
clarinet and trumpet with string orchestra, written for the Franz
Liszt Chamber Orchestra.
Markus Stockhausen
also composes for film, teaches in various situations and has released
or participated in more than 60 CDs until now. In 2005 he was the
winner of the WDR jazz prize. Detailed information you can find at:
