    Der für mich größte minimalistische Komponist ist La Monte Young. Obwohl er die westliche Musik revolutioniert hat ist er immernoch kaum bekannt.
    Jetzt endlich bietet sich die Möglichkeit eines seiner Werke in Deutschland aufgeführt zu sehen (und zu hören natürlich):

    World Premiere

    The Theatre of Eternal Music String Ensemble
    unter der Leitung von Charles Curtis

    Samstag, 26. Juli 2008, 20 Uhr

    Symposium zum Konzert, Sonntag, 27. Juli, 11 Uhr

    Workshop mit Charles Curtis
    27. Juli bis 1. August, Anmeldung erforderlich

    Wo?
    Kunst im Regenbogenstadl
    Georg-Rückert-Str. 1, D-82398 Polling
    Tel.: 0881 417718, Fax.: 0881 417719
    Mail: mail@regenbogenstadl.de

    Diese einmalige Gelegenheit darf sich kein Musikliebhaber entgehen lassen.
    Vielleicht gibt es ja Leute aus'm Ruhrpott, die Interesse daran haben dort hinzufahren. Dann könnte man eine Fahrgemeinschaft bilden. Wenn ich mit der Bahn fahren würde wäre ich nämlich um über 200 € ärmer!

    Weil ihr ungebildeten Barbaren bestimmt noch nie den Namen La Monte Young gehört habt, hier ein kleiner Überblick:

    'La Monte Young has pioneered the concept of extended time durations in contemporary music for over 40 years. He contributed extensively to the study of just intonation and to the development of rational number based tuning systems that are used in his periodic composite sound waveform environments, as well as in many of his major performance works. Presentations of Young's work in the U.S. and Europe, as well as his theoretical writings, gradually influenced a group of composers to create a static, periodic music which became known as Minimalism. Musician magazine stated, "As the acknowledged father of minimalism and guru emeritus to the British art-rock school, his influence is pervasive," and in 1985 the Los Angeles Herald Examiner wrote, " for the past quarter of a century he has been the most influential composer in America. Maybe in the world." In Minimalism:Origins, 1993, Edward Strickland added, “Young is now widely recognized as the originator of the most influential classical music style of the final third of the twentieth century.”'
