Founded 22 years ago in France as VOXNOVA\, the widely acclaimed European vocal ensemble will be reincarnated in 2014 with five Italian contemporary vocal music specialists under the direction of founder\, bass baritone Nicholas Isherwood. The American-born singer\, a prot g of the late composer\, recently moved from Berlin to Rome. VOXNOVA Italia\, he says\, has "cracked the code" of Stockhausen's score by producing the harmonic balances asked for by the composer. Described as a trance-like stream of consciousness\, "Stimmung" was inspired by walking among the ancient pyramids of Mexico\, as well as by the spirit of free love permeating the period. The work's steamy erotic poetry\, usually performed in German\, will be heard in English. \n\n\n\nOpening this concert\, which recalls the "summer of love" and impossible dreams of the late 1960s\, cellist and resident of Glassel Park Timothy Loo will provide a point of departure with "Nomos Alpha" (1966) by Iannis Xenakis. The highly complex 15-minute work is considered impossible to perform as written. Loo will employ innovative new technology to completely render the work. \n\n\n\nJanuary 25\, 8pm HALLUCINATION First Presbyterian/SM\n\nIannis Xenakis Nomos Alpha (solo cello\, 1966) \n\nKarlheinz Stockhausen Stimmung (1968)\n\n1220 2nd St.\, Santa Monica\, CA 90401\; pre-concert talk at 7pm\; Tickets: $45 general/$20 students \n\n\n\nTickets: jacarandamusic.org\; Information: (213) 483-0216. \n\n\n\nJacaranda\, with a motto of "music at the edge\," is a series of intimate concert adventures into the realm of new and rarely heard classical music designed to awaken curiosity\, passion and discovery in diverse audiences.
