Part live performance, part sound installation, this evening is an exploration of the mind-opening music of Karlheinz Stockhausen, one of the most controversial composers of the 20th century. Before the performance, a powerful, absorbing re-creation of Friday Greeting erases the stimuli of the outside world. And onstage, a percussionist performs the allegorical Heaven’s Door, followed by Stockhausen’s mesmerizing and rarely heard Cosmic Pulses, his final electronic piece.

*Friday Greeting begins at 6:45 in the Alice Tully Hall lobby, and Friday Farewell will begin in the lobby immediately following Cosmic Pulses.

This performance will be followed by a White Light Lounge.

Please note: Performances begin promptly at their scheduled times.
There is no late seating.

This performance is approximately one hour long, with no intermission.
